Over the last two decades, the integration of big data and deep learning technologies has
demonstrated remarkable effectiveness across various domains of civil engineering, leading …

Digital transformation of concrete technology is one of the current “hot topics” tackled by both
academia and industry. The final goal is to fully integrate the already existing advanced …

Image processing (IP), artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference
system (ANFIS) are innovative techniques in computer science that have been widely used …

The use of the combination of ultrafine rice husk ash (RHA) and nano silica (NS) enhances
the compactness of hardened concrete, but there is still a lack of studies that address the …

The paper presents the results of the analysis of the thermal cracking patterns and fracture
zone of microsilica-modified cement matrix made of the low-alkali cement. The material was …

Aggregate is the most volume covering component in concrete. The strength and durability
properties of the aggregate can affect the hardened and fresh concrete properties. Apart …

This study investigates the microstructural characteristics and mechanical strength of vibro-
compacted interlocking concrete blocks, with a particular focus on incorporating image …

This study uses a fixed weight ratio of 7: 2: 1 of cement, fly ash and slag powder as binder
material and uses waste liquid crystal display (LCD) glass sand through a No. 4 sieve to …

This paper proposes formulae for refined models that account for wall effects when
modelling the geometric mesostructure of concrete. The wall effect should be taken into …

There has been a mounting interest in the use of image-based concrete finite element
models to estimate their mechanical properties. The aim of this study is to present a new …
