Predicting the Impact of Crumb Rubber Size on the Rutting Resistance of Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt Mixtures Using Gene Expression Programming

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) offers several advantages such as increased rutting resistance and enhanced stability. However, few studies have explored the relation between CR size and rutting resistance of CRMA mixtures at different temperatures as well as the development of prediction models to assess the performance of CRMA mixtures ...

Modification of the Performance of Fresh and Hardened Concrete Reinforced With Fibers From Oil Palm Mesocarp

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Currently, many researchers use industrial or agricultural by‐products (waste) as raw materials for the construction sector. These wastes are economical and help preserve the environment through good waste management. For this purpose, oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMFs) are used at various volume concentrations (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1%) for the ...

Optimization of Geopolymer Mortar Mix Design via Response Surface Methodology

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study employed response surface methodology (RSM) to optimize the mix design of geopolymer mortar with the objective of enhancing its 28‐day flexural and compressive strengths. Three critical factors, namely NaOH content, sodium‐silicate content, and water content, were selected for investigation. A comprehensive experimental protocol was devised,

A Review on Vehicle Tire Elastomers and Tire Wear Particles: Composition, Degradation Mechanisms, Analytical Methods, and Predictive Multiscale Computational Modeling

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The study of the properties, chemical composition, and degradation patterns of rubber materials used in vehicle tires remains a complex and interdisciplinary task. Rubber for tires—more precisely, complex mixtures of elastomers containing fillers, plasticizers, binders, and other additives—is a condensed chemically active material, the composition and ...

Study on the Shear Performance of Plastic Rubber–Concrete Impermeable Walls for Rock‐Bound Embankments

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Shear damage at the base of seepage control walls in rock‐bound embankments presents a critical challenge in flood defense engineering. This study examines the shear behavior of plastic rubber concrete by varying rubber powder dosage (0–30 kg/m3), water–binder ratio (0.6–0.8), and rubber particle size (40–80 mesh).
