Abstract
Concrete is highly sought material in construction industry and is made with cement, Natural Sand and gravel. There is lot of advancements done in the field of concrete. A model based on fuzzy logic is used to arrive at fresh as well as indurate properties of Exfoliated vermiculite related Light weight concrete (EVLWC) containing Exfoliated Vermiculite, Granite Fines and Silica Fume has been developed. Materials investigated experimentally possess 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20% weight of Exfoliated Vermiculite (EV) and fixed 10% Granite Fines (GF) both replacing Natural Sand and fixed 5% Silica Fume (SF) replacing cement in each concrete. Water/cement ratio and content of super plasticizer were chosen as 0.40 % and 1.0 % of content of used respectively. The slump property of fresh concrete and hardened properties of concrete like Stress-strain relationship, compressive strength and acid resistance are arrived for said concrete.
