Investigating the synergistic effects of Metakaolin and silica fume on the strength and durability of recycled aggregate concrete at elevated temperatures.

The use of recycled aggregate (RA) as a partial or full replacement of natural aggregate (NA) is a suitable method of concrete production that has positive impacts on the environment. However, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has relatively lower strength and durability than that of normal concrete. To improve concrete performance, silica-fume (SF) was added with 2.

Sustainable concrete production through the integration of waste foundry sand, fly ash, silica fume and metakaolin.

This exploratory study investigates the use of waste foundry sand (WFS), combined with supplement cementitious materials (SCMs), in concrete production. The Preliminary Investigation is based on three groups, where the first group studies different percentages of natural sand replacement with WFS (i.e.

Sustainable concrete: investigating the synergistic effects of coconut fiber, wheat straw ash, and silica fume on RAC strength and durability.

As concrete production accounts for a large percentage of worldwide CO emissions, there is a need for alternative sustainable construction materials. Simultaneously, the increasing generation of construction and demolition waste has led to the growing interest in using recycled aggregates (RA) in concrete. However, recycling aggregate (RAC) tends to demonstrate poor mechanical and durability performance because of relatively high porosity and weak interfacial transition zone existing in RA.

Machine learning prediction and explainability analysis of high strength glass powder concrete using SHAP PDP and ICE.

Achieving high-strength concrete (HSC) with sustainable supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) remains a significant challenge in the construction industry. Although glass powder has shown promise as a partial cement substitute, its specific impact on HSC growth is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the compressive strength (CS) of high strength glass-powder concrete (HSGPC) using machine learning (ML) models and enhance predictive accuracy through hybrid optimization techniques.

Analysis of fractionalized Brinkman flow in the presence of diffusion effect.

A vertical plate experiences a dynamic flow of fractionalized Brinkman fluid governed by fluctuating magnetic forces. This study considers heat absorption and diffusion-thermo effects. The novelty of model is the fractionalized Fourier's and Fick's laws.
