Development of a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm for implementing circular economy strategies in the concrete industry

Mahjoob NoParast et al.

Summary: The study proposed a sustainable closed-loop supply chain (SCLSC) model to reduce the environmental impacts of concrete manufacturing. The model, based on a multi-objective approach, includes sub-systems like customers, suppliers, manufacturing, and recycling stations, and uses a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to solve solutions. The research showed that using more recycled aggregates can lower excavation of quarries, but transportation distance determines the choice of green cement incorporation.

Post-fire behavior of unconfined and steel tube confined rubberized concrete under axial compression

Habib Akbarzadeh Bengar et al.

Summary: Steel-confined concrete demonstrates strength improvement, concrete stiffness, damage reduction, and delayed failure after exposure to fire. However, the presence of tire rubber aggregate can improve plasticity and energy absorption, but may decrease concrete strength in case of exposure to fire. Additionally, increasing exposure temperature and crumb rubber replacement ratio leads to an increase in the strain at peak stress of steel tube confined rubberized concrete.
