Abstract
The need for the present decade is an environmentally friendly approach to the utilization of building materials. Geopolymers which are produced from 100% aluminosilicate-based waste materials have the potential to pave the path for sustainable development and construction practices. But many factors affect the compressive strength of geopolymers that needs to be evaluated before its utilization in any field practices. Hence the purpose of this article is to formulate a model by employing Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for prediction of compressive strength. Seven input parameters were taken into consideration which influences the compressive strength of geopolymers, to develop four different ANN models. A total of 396 sets of data were analyzed in training, validation, and testing phases to estimate the geopolymeric potential of different aluminosilicate-based precursors. The best performing model with an R2 value of 0.9994 is Model—4 which contains two hidden layers with 14 artificial neurons. Finally, ANN showed strong potential in predicting the compressive strength of geopolymers within the considered range.
