The cement industry faces an increasing demand for new supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) as alternative to slags and ashes, the sources of which are in continuous depletion. This study reports on characteristics synthetic aluminosilicate glasses derived from basalt composition (BGs) SCMs. pozzolanic activity developed well their influence hydration kinetics, microstructure, mechanical...

Random walks have become a popular component of recent planning systems. The increased exploration is a valuable addition to more exploitative search methods such as Greedy Best First Search (GBFS). A number of successful planners which incorporate random walks have been built. The work presented here aims to exploit the experience gained from building those systems. It begins a systematic stud...

Ternary Portland cements are new cementitious materials that contain different amounts of cement replacements. composed granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS), coal fly ash (CFA), and clinker (K) can afford some environmental advantages by lowering the use. Accordingly, this is an opportunity to reduce carbon dioxide emissions achieve net-zero 2050. Furthermore, GBFS CFA possess pozzolanic proper...

Steel slag and ground blast furnace show good wear resistance, which is suitable for improving the abrasion performance of pavement concrete. This work presents an investigation activation Na2SO4, Na2CO3 Na2SiO3 on GBFS-SS composite The results showed that both Na2SO4 can promote strength development cementitious system. shows limited improvement in paste. paste activated with combination hydra...

Rock-filled concrete (RFC) has good performance in terms of energy savings, cost reduction, and CO2 emissions as a novel massive construction technology. There have been studies into replacing natural rocks RFC with large blocks solid waste, this method used on several sites. However, the granular powdery waste utilized is limited, consequence special requirement self-compacting (SCC) RFC. The ...

8 The main challenge of facial landmark localization in real-world application is that the large changes of head pose and facial expressions cause substantial image appearance variations. To avoid high dimensional facial shape regression, we propose a hierarchical pose regression approach, estimating the head rotation, face components, and facial landmarks hierarchically. The regression process...

Dump load (DL) utilization at low demand hours in highly penetrated islanded microgrid is of great importance to offer voltage and frequency regulation. Additionally, flow (LF) convergence vital optimize the working states DL allocation problem. Hence, more analysis necessary highlight significance power regulation while observing influence LF on solution accuracy. This article proposes two tec...
