Abstract

In concrete production, shape of aggregate reflects the quality of concrete produced. The well-shaped aggregates are said to produce high quality concrete by reducing water to cement ratio. On the contrary, poor-shaped aggregates often require higher water to cement ratio in concrete production. Conventionally, the quality of concrete is determined by calculating the ratio of well-shaped aggregate to poor-shaped aggregate contained in concrete. This procedure is slow, highly subjective and laborious, which is inefficient and expensive. In order to decrease the problems, this paper proposed an intelligent classification system for the aggregates using neural network. The system uses Zernike moments, Hu's moment invariants, area and perimeter of the aggregate's mass and boundary as input data for the neural network. The HMLP which is trained using MRPE algorithm, has been used as the classification system. The system produced 85.53% accuracy. This shows that the HMLP network has high capability to be used as intelligent shape classification system for aggregates.
