Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to predict the 28-day compressive strength of recycled thermal insulation concrete more accurately.

Design/methodology/approach

The initial weights and thresholds of BP neural network are improved by genetic algorithm on MATLAB 2014 a platform.

Findings

Genetic algorithm–back propagation (GA-BP) neural network is more stable. The generalization performance of the complex is better.

Originality/value

The GA-BP neural network based on the training sample data can better realize the strength prediction of recycled aggregate thermal insulation concrete and reduce the complex orthogonal experimental process. GA-BP neural network is more stable. The generalization performance of the complex is better.
