Abstract Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a type of known for its environmental benefits and improved workability. In this study, data-driven approaches were used to anticipate the compressive strength (CS) self-compacting containing recycled plastic aggregates (RPA). A database 400 experimental data sets was assess capabilities multi-objective genetic algorithm evolutionary polynomial regress...

How to hide a dimension from view Compacted dimensions are essential ingredients of advanced string theories; the extra dimensions used to describe the world are hidden from view, or compacted. Pendry et al. used concepts of transformation optics, in which metamaterials are designed to produce specific optical properties, to show theoretically that compacted dimensions could be possible in plas...

In 1999, the Fall River Long-Term Site Productivity study began in coastal Washington to investigate how intensive management practices affect soil processes and forest productivity. By comparing conventional harvests to more intensive wood removal treatments, researchers are answering long-standing questions about how residual organic matter influences future growth. Also, by using herbicides ...

The durability of the self compacting concrete is one prominent areas concern in recent years since it has become prevalent due to its ease handling construction industries. However, there a lack detailed study M-sand with polypropylene fibres literature. In this paper, made by Portland pozzolana cement natural sand and M-sand, different percentages volume fraction (0%, 0.1%, 0.15% 0.2%) thorou...

Multiscale modeling for cement-based materials, such as concrete, is a relatively young subject, but there are already a number of different approaches to study different aspects of these classical materials. In this paper, the parameter-passing multiscale modeling scheme is established and applied to address the multiscale modeling problem for the integrated system of cement paste, mortar, and...
