Study of Concrete Strength and Pore Structure Model Based on Grey Relation Entropy

Abstract

The Grey Relation Entropy (GRE) theory is used to analyze the sensitive pore size that affects the compressive strength of concrete. The relationship between the strength and pore structure is revised based on the sensitivity coefficient. The revised model is used to calculate the compressive strength of concrete. In order to verify the validity of the proposed model, the calculated results are compared with experimental ones, showing satisfactory agreement with a larger correlation than existing methods.
