 Introduction
 The main steps in the fuzzy-logic procedure can be
given as the generation of membership functions,
fuzzification , inference (rule base) and defuzzification.
 Processing all these inputs according to human based,
fuzzy "If-Then" rules, which can be expressed in plain
language words, in combination with traditional non-
fuzzy processing.

 Definition
 Way of processing data by allowing partial set
membership rather than crisp set membership or
non-membership.

 Example
IF cold THEN stop fan

IF warm AND NOT cooling down THEN increase

fan speed slightly

IF hot THEN increase fan speed substantially etc…

Traditional Representation Of Topic

Slow Fast
Speed = 0 Speed = 1
bool speed;
get the speed
if ( speed == 0) {
// speed is slow
}
else {
// speed is fast
}
 Fuzzylogic Representation

 For every problem

Slowest
must represent in
terms of fuzzy sets. [ 0.0 – 0.25 ]

Slow
 What are fuzzy sets?
[ 0.25 – 0.50 ]

Fast
[ 0.50 – 0.75 ]

Fastest
[ 0.75 – 1.00 ]
Slowest Slow Fast Fastest
float speed;
get the speed
if ((speed >= 0.0)&&(speed < 0.25)) {
// speed is slowest
}
else if ((speed >= 0.25)&&(speed < 0.5))
{
// speed is slow
}
else if ((speed >= 0.5)&&(speed < 0.75))
{
// speed is fast
}
else // speed >= 0.75 && speed < 1.0
{
// speed is fastest
}
 Application In Concrete Technology
 Test Conducted By Harun Tanyildizi & Ahmet Coskun

 A fuzzylogic predection model for 3,7,14 and 28 days

 Use of scoria aggregates and fly ash under different
curing conditions
 Other Applications
 Performance evaluation of reinforced concrete
structure.
 Condition Assessment of Corrosion-Distressed
Reinforced Concrete Buildings.
 To predict stress–strain curves of steel fiber-
reinforced concretes in compression
 Stress–strain modelling of high strength
concrete
 Prediction of axial load capacity of stub circular
concrete-filled steel tube
 Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages Disvantages

• Simple systems • Operator's experience required

• Low development costs • System complexity

• Low maintenance costs

• Reduced run-time

• Mimicks human control logic

• Uses imprecise language

• Fails safely
 conclusion
 Fuzzy logic can be used as an alternative
approach in prediction of various
parameters(stress,strain,axial load capacity) in
concrete structure
 Fuzzy logic provides an alternative way to
represent linguistic and subjective attributes of
the real world in computing.
 It is able to be applied to control systems and
other applications in order to improve the
efficiency and simplicity of the design process.
