- Synopsis:
- The purpose of this research is to clarify the influence of construction works on variation in concrete quality, and to establish estimation method of quality variation considering construction conditions (mix-proportions, re-bar conditions, cover concrete depth, etc). In this research, variation in concrete quality obtained by the experiment was quantitatively evaluated using neural network. As a result, the influence of construction conditions on the variation in concrete quality could be clarified quantitatively and the cover concrete quality and its variation could be estimated.

- cover concrete, void ratio, variation, construction conditions, neural network
