The industrial waste like Blast furnace slag (GGBFS), fly ash, metakaolin, silica fume can be used as partly replacement for cement and manufactured sand obtained from crusher, was partly used as fine aggregate. In this work, MATLAB software model is developed using neural network toolbox to predict the flexural strength of concrete made by using pozzolanic materials and partly replacing natural fine aggregate (NFA) by Manufactured sand (MS). Flexural strength was experimentally calculated by casting beams specimens and results obtained from experiment were used to develop the artificial neural network (ANN) model. Total 131 results values were used to modeling formation and from that 30% data record was used for testing purpose and 70% data record was used for training purpose. 25 input materials properties were used to find the 28 days flexural strength of concrete obtained from partly replacing cement with pozzolans and partly replacing natural fine aggregate (NFA) by manufactured sand (MS). The results obtained from ANN model provides very strong accuracy to predict flexural strength of concrete obtained from partly replacing cement with pozzolans and natural fine aggregate (NFA) by manufactured sand.
