The aim of this article is to predict the compressive strength of environmentally friendly concrete modified with eggshell powder. For this purpose, an optimized artificial neural network, combined with a novel metaheuristic shuffled frog leaping optimization algorithm, was employed and compared with a well-known genetic algorithm and multiple linear regression. The presented results confirm that the highest compressive strength (46 MPa on average) can be achieved for mix designs containing 7 to 9% of eggshell powder. This means that the strength increased by 55% when compared to conventional Portland cement-based concrete. The comparative results also show that the proposed artificial neural network, combined with the novel metaheuristic shuffled frog leaping optimization algorithm, offers satisfactory results of compressive strength predictions for concrete modified using eggshell powder concrete. Moreover, it has a higher accuracy than the genetic algorithm and the multiple linear regression. This finding makes the present method useful for construction practice because it enables a concrete mix with a specific compressive strength to be developed based on industrial waste that is locally available.

The objective of this work was to examine the compressive strength behavior of ground bottom ash (GBA) concrete by using an artificial neural network. Four input parameters, specifically, the water-to-binder ratio (WB), percentage replacement of GBA (PR), median particle size of GBA (PS), and age of concrete (AC), were considered for this prediction. The results indicated that all four considered parameters affect the strength development of concrete, and GBA with a high fineness can act as a good pozzolanic material. The optimal ANN model had an architecture with two hidden layers, with six neurons in the first hidden layer and one neuron in the second hidden layer. The proposed ANN-based explicit equation represented a highly accurate predictive model, for which the statistical values of R2 were higher than 0.996. Moreover, the compressive strength behavior determined using the optimal ANN model closely followed the trend lines and surface plots of the experimental results.
