This research was conducted to design an artificial neural network for predicting the compressive strength of self compacting concrete containing mineral admixtures. This prediction is divided into feed forward back propagation and reverse neural network model. The first part the model can predict the SCC compressive strength not only on experimental data but also on the every desired mineral admixture mix proportions. The network is able to pass the following way reversely. In other words, the network is acting as two-way routes. The first is the way which the starting point is amount of mineral admixtures (as input data) and the end point is the SCC compressive strength at 28 and 90 day (as desired output), the return way is vice versa.
