Broken Beds, but better science; using multiple hypotheses to interpret geological data

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 73-82, February 2023., 2023
Abstract In this study, we propose a multiple hypotheses approach to improve interpretations of limited remotely sensed datasets, such as sparsely exposed outcrops, subsurface datasets, or planetary objects using semi‐quantitative scoring and ranking of observable features.

Formation and characterization of ceramic coating from alumino silicate mineral powders in the matrix of cement composite on the concrete wall [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Chemistry and Physics, 2019, 2018
Enhancement of thermal performance of concrete wall is nowadays of great importance in reducing the operational energy demand of buildings. We developed a new kind of inorganic coating material based on \ce{SiO2}-\ce{Al2O3}-rich minerals and Portland cement (PC) powder. The finely pulverized mineral powder with the particle size distribution (PSD) of 0.

Revealing fundamental flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs using distributed fiber optic sensors

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) allow for the measurement of distributed strains on concrete surfaces and along steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) members, and these measurements can quantify reinforcement and concrete behavior.

Optimizing sustainable concrete compressive strength prediction: A new particle swarm optimization‐based metaheuristic approach to neural network modeling for circular economy and disaster resilience

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aims to predict the final‐age compressive strengths of sustainable concrete series produced using different aggregate types with high accuracy using an artificial intelligence model and to reduce environmental degradation and conserve rapidly decreasing natural resources within the scope of sustainable development and circular ...

Influence of limestone filler and of the size of the aggregates on DEF [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
This experimental study aims to determine the effect of limestone filler on concrete expansion due to delayed ettringite formation (DEF). Different mortars made with different sizes and percentages of limestone filler and Portland cement CEM I 52.5N are conserved in water. The expansion of the specimens is measured.
