Synergistic Effects of Brick Waste and Fly Ash on Concrete Performance: An Experimental and Computational Study

This study investigates the performance of sustainable concrete using Over-Burnt Brick Waste (OBBW) as a partial replacement for natural Coarse Aggregates (CA), with Class C fly ash (F) as a supplementary cementitious material. Concrete mixtures were prepared with OBBW replacement levels ranging from 5% to 55% at a con...

Sustainable concrete incorporating bagasse ash and plastic waste as fine aggregate

The construction industry is increasingly adopting sustainable materials to reduce environmental impacts while maintaining structural performance. This study investigates the combined use of sugarcane bagasse ash (BA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) aggregates in M30-grade concrete. BA replaced cement at 0%–15%, w...

Predicting the compressive strength of sustainable concrete with recycled foundry sand using advanced soft computing methods.

Given the environmental challenges posed by the production and disposal of industrial waste, reusing such materials in the construction industry, especially for the development of sustainable concrete, offers an eco-friendly solution and cost reduction. This study investigates the use of waste foundry sand (WFS) as a p...

Investigation of the effect of using recycled aggregate, metakaolin, and fly ash on the performance of structural lightweight concrete

This study investigated the effects of recycled aggregate (RA) substitution and fly ash (FA) and metakaolin (MK) as cement replacements on the mechanical and durability properties of lightweight concrete produced with natural perlite aggregate (NPA), as well as their performance under high temperatures. For this purpos...

Experimental and ANN-based prediction of the mechanical properties of fly ash geopolymer concrete

Prediction of Sustainable Concrete Strength Incorporating Fly Ash and Recycled Aggregates Using Artificial Neural Networks

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used to predict the compressive strength of sustainable concrete as an alternative to large laboratory experiments․ Sustainable concrete mixes were designed by replacing natural coarse aggregate (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) at varying percentages ranging from 0%...
