Bond between alkali-activated repair mortars and OPC concrete substrate: Strength calculation, failure mode statistics and mechanisms

To assess the feasibility of using alkali-activated mortar as a repair material for existing damaged concrete, the interfacial bonding properties between alkali-activated slag/fly ash repair mortar and substrate concrete are systematically studied, focusing on the effects of slag...

Prediction of Compressive Strength of CSGR Based on Optimized Machine Learning with Sparrow Search Algorithm

Abstract Cemented sand, gravel, and rock (CSGR) is an emerging dam material, and accurately predicting its compressive strength is essential for reliable mix-proportion design. Using 342 experimentally measured samples, this study develops an SSA-optimized machine-learning framew...
