Modeling of Mechanical Properties of Silica Fume-Based Green Concrete Using Machine Learning Techniques

Afnan Nafees et al.

Summary: This study focuses on developing modeling techniques to predict the compressive strength of silica fume concrete. Decision tree and support vector machine algorithms were used, and a reliable database of compressive strengths was established. The evaluation of models showed that decision tree models outperformed support vector machine models in predicting compressive strength. Sensitivity analysis revealed that cement and water were the most significant factors affecting compressive strength.

A geometric study for determining the optimum volume fraction of pre-embedded capsules for self-healing of cracks in a cementitious matrix

R. Alghamri et al.

Summary: Autonomous healing of cracks using capsule-based systems is a promising solution to restore durability and strength of damaged structures. This study introduces quantitative numerical solutions on the optimal dosage of capsules required to completely repair cracks in a three-dimensional model. The results show that capsule geometry and dosage play a significant role in self-healing efficiency.
