High-performance concrete (HPC) is a highly complex material, which makes modeling its behavior a very difficult task. Several studies have independently shown that the slump flow of HPC is not only determined by the water content and maximum size of coarse aggregate, but that is also influenced by the contents of other concrete ingredients. In this paper, the methods for modeling the slump flow of concrete using second-order regression and artificial neural network (ANN) are described. This study led to the following conclusions: (1) The slump flow model based on ANN is much more accurate than that based on regression analysis. (2) It has become convenient and easy to use ANN models for numerical experiments to review the effects of mix proportions on concrete flow properties. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
