A response-surface-guided neural network predicted a balanced silica-fume and nano-silica formulation for coral aggregate concrete, reducing prediction error without additional ...

Laboratory tests found that sodium-hydroxide conditioning improved fly ash aggregate strength, concrete compressive capacity, interfacial bonding, and water resistance, while ...

Laboratory tests and simulations found that cement- and lithium-based consolidation allowed weathered coal gangue to replace part of the aggregate ...

Controlled uniaxial compression tests found that increasing dissolution weakened rock-like specimens and changed failure from a dominant-crack event to progressive ...

A machine learning study shows that waste marble dust can replace up to 32 percent of the cement in semi-flexible ...

An experimental study in Ecuador found that a hybrid steel-polypropylene fiber mix boosted concrete's energy absorption roughly 18-fold while cutting ...

A new study links the fractal geometry of pore structures in activated red mud cementitious materials to both compressive strength ...

The study's framing of geopolymer optimization reflects a broader shift in construction materials research away from single-property maximization toward balanced, ...

Researchers found that shredded watermelon vine waste can both reinforce ecological porous concrete and neutralize its alkalinity, enabling over 80 ...

Adding zirconium oxide to yttria-strengthened tungsten refines grains and boosts compressive strength by up to 44 percent at room temperature ...
