Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)‐powered design framework for lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance composites (SH‐UHPC)

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 5315-5339, August 2026.
Abstract Lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance concrete composite (SH‐UHPC) is an outstanding alternative for engineering applications and infrastructure thanks to its outstanding strength, toughness, ductility, and low density. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)‐based modeling strategies into engineering problems can ...

Efficiency of Superplasticizers in Low‐carbon Alkali‐activated Slag–Silica Fume Binders Governed by Polymer Solubility

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Workability control of alkali‐activated binders (AABs) remains an obstacle to producing low‐carbon clinkerless ultra‐high‐performance concrete, as their formulation usually necessitates low water‐to‐binder (W/B) ratios, high binder content, and concentrated activator solutions. To address this challenge, a greener and more manageable composite

Ettringite Seeds for Strength Enhancement: Novel Synthesis via One‐Step Co‐Precipitation

open access: yesJournal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Reduced early strength can be a barrier to the adoption of cements blended with high levels of limestone. Chemical admixtures based on nucleation seeding are emerging as a potential solution. Herein, while synthesis of C‐S‐H‐based seeds has been thoroughly investigated in the literature, there are limited synthesis protocols available on other

Data‐Driven Methods for Multiple and Dual Response Optimization on Operational Data Using Stochastic PRIM

open access: yesQuality and Reliability Engineering International, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 2415-2429, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Upon establishing multiple response optimization (MRO) or dual response optimization (DRO), response surface methodology (RSM) acts as a conventional model‐driven framework for optimizing small‐sized experimental data to derive an input condition in which a decent response is expected.

Efficacy of Available Superplasticizers on Geopolymers

open access: yesResearch Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology, 2014
Geopolymer is a novel engineering binder with lower environmental impacts (CO 2 emission, embodied energy and global warming potential) than Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Geopolymers can be synthesized from mixing high alkaline activators by industrial by-products such as fly ash and slag as the aluminosilicate source materials.
