Fuzzy model for calculating of cement mortar ratios

Abstract

This paper presents a study of the behavior of mortars made 
with cement and sand. This behavior is tested in the laboratory
through experimentation with different ratios. A Fuzzy RuleBased System is designed with the resulting experimental data 
to aid in calculating ratios of future mortars. Due to the lack of 
regulations on mortar ratios, the main goal of this paper is to
provide construction professionals with a tool to help prepare 
mortar. The fuzzy system designed allows the user to know the 
final characteristic of the mortars in advance. The resulting 
fuzzy system is validated by comparing its calculated output 
with real values obtained through new experiments conducted 
in the laboratory
