Effects of Desert Sands on the Fresh and Hardened Properties of Cement-Based Materials

Abstract The use of desert sands as an alternative to river sand in concrete may be limited by the presence of internally sourced sulfate and chloride ions, which may affect hydration and long-term performance. This study investigates the influence of naturally contaminated deser...

Inspection-Oriented Predictive Quality Modeling for MDF Manufacturing Using Industrial Process Data and Machine Learning

Continuous medium-density fiberboard (MDF) production presents a persistent quality-assurance problem: destructive laboratory tests return results too late to prevent off-specification material from accumulating before a corrective response is possible. This study develops an ins...
