Abstract

The control of the determination of concrete depends on the basic properties of the desired concrete and thanks to the type of granular mixture of concrete. We arrive at the required concrete quality. And in this study, we can identify the granular distribution class of concrete using the fractal model. In particular, the granular distribution can be determined by the fractal dimension, either for each granular component separately, or for the dry granular mixture of the concrete. The fractional dimension is obtained by transforming the particle size curve to a fractal line. In this study, we used some experimental results obtained from projects already carried out in arid regions. Knowing that we have applied parameters such as granular extent and fractional dimension to the study of these existing projects, we can define a dry mix of concrete through the granular distribution. Therefore, we used the program that we proposed previously of transforming the grain size curves to a fractal line which was obtained for each grain mixture with a very acceptable correlation.

Highlights

  • Civil engineering practitioners such as researchers, engineers, technicians and those interested in it have always favored the best concrete formulas based on classical or modern methods

  • This work allowed us to open a new window on the methods of concrete formulation using the granular distribution of granular mixtures to determine important properties in the definition of concrete, and we knew the efficiency of using modeling fractal to determine these granular mixtures of dry concrete for different concrete

  • It is easy to know these granular mixtures according to their fractal dimension and their granular extent (FD, d/D)

Summary

Introduction

Civil engineering practitioners such as researchers, engineers, technicians and those interested in it have always favored the best concrete formulas based on classical or modern methods. The methods used were either experimental (laboratory tests), or empirical or semi-empirical method or analytical methods. Scientific research in the field of civil engineering, as in many other applied sciences and technologies, is a major use of its implementation according to modern tools, in particular calculation tools [1, 3]. The main objective of this study is to discover the best methods that help in the economic aspect, in particular the building materials when testing, in addition to saving time and effort lost in their realization without taking them into account. It was more interesting to use technology (electronics and computer) with analytical methods and concrete models to achieve experimental methods
