Özet

This paper studied the estimation of fresh properties of hybrid fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (HR-SCC) mixtures with different types and combinations of fibers by using two different prediction method named as the methodologies of extreme learning machine and long short-term memory (LSTM). For this purpose, 48 mixtures, which were designed as single, binary, ternary and quaternary fiber-reinforced SCC with macro-steel fiber, two micro-steel fibers having different aspect ratio, polypropylene (PP) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA), were used. Slump flow, t(50) and J-ring tests for designed mixtures were conducted to measure the fresh properties of fiber-reinforced SCC mixtures as per EFNARC. The experimental results were analyzed by Anova method. In the devised prediction model, the amounts of cement, fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag, limestone powder, aggregate, water, high-range water-reducer admixture (HRWA) and the fiber ratios were selected as inputs, while the slump flow, t(50) and the J-ring were selected as outputs. Based on the Anova analysis' results, the macro-steel fiber was the most important parameter for the results of slump-flow diameter and t(50), while the most important parameter for the results of J-ring was fly ash. Furthermore, it was found that the use of more than 0.20% by volume of 6/0.16 micro-steel fiber positively influenced the fresh properties of SCC mixtures with hybrid fiber. On the other hand, the inclusion of steel fiber instead of synthetic fiber into SCC mixture as micro-fiber was more advantageous in terms of workability of mixtures as result of hydrophobic nature of steel fibers. This study found that extreme learning machine model estimated the slump flow, t(50) and J-ring with 99.71%, 81% and 94.21% accuracy, respectively, while deep learning model found the same experimental results with 99.18%, 77.4% and 84.8% accuracy, respectively. It can be emphasized from this study that the extreme learning machine model had a better prediction ability than the deep learning model.
