Abstract
Concrete is an important building material in the field of civil engineering. As an important factor, the strength of concrete affects its quality directly. Although conventional methods are made to forecast concrete strength, the classification of its grade is still an important issue in terms of non-uniformity of mortar and the complexity of curing condition. In this study, the classification of strength grade is implemented by employing the nearest neighbor partitioning method-based neural network classifier, which not only produces flexible decision boundaries but also eliminates centroid-based constraints and further enlarges the opportunity for finding optimal solutions. Experimental results manifest that the adopted method improves the performance of concrete grade classification.
