Assessment of select direct and indirect pozzolanic reactivity test outcomes with robust regression and ranking analysis

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The use of pozzolanic materials as a sustainable partial replacement option for portland cement in concrete has been extensively studied over the last few decades. This study aimed to assess the pozzolanic reactivity of seven different powdered materials:

Scalable Electrochemical Concrete Fabrication and Closed‐Loop Recycling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
The electrochemical‐driven recycling strategy establishes a reversible concrete material flow by extracting Ca, Si, Al, and Fe from concrete waste and regenerating functional feedstocks. These reversed products are reassembled into new concrete, which re‐enters service and ultimately returns to waste, enabling a closed‐loop, waste‐origin, and low ...

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.
