Abstract: “High performance concrete (HPC) is an engineered concrete possessing the most desirable properties during fresh as well as hardened concrete stages. Permeability is one of the most important parameters to quantify the durability of high-performance concrete. This research was to study the chloride ion permeability of high performance concrete with different mineral admixtures like Fly ash, Silicafume and Metakaolin of different percentages, with varying aggregate-binder ratios (2, 2.5). In addition, on the basis of the experimental data an artificial neural network (ANN) technique is executed to demonstrate the possibilities of artificial neural network formulation for the prediction of chloride permeability as a function of four input parameters : water-cement ratio (0.3, 0.325, 0.35, 0.375, 0.4, 0.425, 0.45, 0.475, 0.5), aggregate binder ratio (2,2.5), type of mineral admixtures, percentage replacement of mineral admixtures i.e Fly ash, Silicafume and Metakaolin(0,10,20,30%) as input”
