Microstructure and Performance Optimization of Barley Husk Ash–Blended Mortars: A Sustainable Approach to Cement Substitution

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Barley husk ash (BHA), an agricultural byproduct rich in pozzolanic oxides, was optimized as a sustainable cement substitute. Statistical modeling and experimental validation confirmed 22.75% BHA as the optimal replacement, enhancing mechanical and durability performance while advancing eco‐efficient construction practices.

Hybrid NDT‐Machine Learning Framework With SHAP‐Based Interpretation for Predicting Compressive Strength of Steel Slag Concrete

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study proposes a hybrid non‐destructive testing (NDT) and machine learning framework to predict the compressive strength of steel slag concrete. The integration of UPV, Rebound Hammer, and mixture parameters with interpretable ANN modeling enables accurate, sustainable, and explainable strength assessment for in situ concrete evaluation.

Effect of Ca:Si Ratio on the Tensile Behavior of CNT‐Reinforced Calcium Silicate Hydrate: A Molecular Dynamics Approach

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study explores the tensile behavior of carbon nanotube (CNT)–reinforced calcium silicate hydrate using molecular dynamics simulations. Multi‐walled CNTs demonstrate superior performance over single‐walled CNTs, with notable improvements in elastic modulus and tensile strength when the CNT orientation aligns with the loading direction.

Low‐Carbon Composite Cement Mortar Incorporating Local Raw Materials as SCMs: Performance and Life Cycle Analysis

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 4, April 2026.
Overview of the experimental plan. ABSTRACT Performance and life cycle analysis of composite cement mortars developed using local conventional (blast furnace slag and fly ash) and novel non‐conventional (stone wool, glass wool, calcined Finnish clay, volcanic pozzolan Iceland, and ladle slag) raw materials as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)
