Abstract
In this paper, an advanced method of quality control for the mixing of roller-compacted dam (RCD) concrete is presented. The method to predict the workability function VC value from the input parameters of mix proportion and mixing energy using a neural network. A successful neural network system for prediction of VC value was developed using experimental data. According to sensitivity analysis, the parameters surface moisture of fine aggregate, volume of fine aggregate, water volume and power consumption are shown to be important parameters which have a significant effect on VC value.
