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.

Pengaruh Variasi Agregat Kasar Penyusun beton Terhadap Kerapatan Beton Dengan Menggunakan Transmission Time Pada Alat UPV (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity)

Rekayasa Sipil, 2019
To find out the quality of concrete, we need to test the concrete. Which is non destructive test or testing without damaging the test object, namely with an UPV (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity). In this study using 4 variations of coarse aggregate composition (mix design), namely porous variation, RCA (Recycled Coarse Aggregate) variation, pumice variation ...

Dimensional stability and water transport behavior of concrete with high contents of wind‐turbine blade waste

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 758-776, February 2026.
Abstract Fiber addition is a common strategy to enhance concrete's durability, avoiding cracks and reducing penetration of harmful agents. In this research, a sustainable fiber‐like material obtained from mechanical recycling of dismantled wind‐turbine blades and made up of glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) fibers and microfibers, balsa wood, and ...

Elastic Properties of Concrete Incorporating Ogugu Lateritic Sand as Fine Aggregate

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study investigates the substitution of conventional fine aggregate with Ogugu lateritic sand in concrete grades 25 and 50, focusing on elastic behavior and strength development. The results show that laterized concrete achieves significant strength gains over time, with grade 25 compressive strength increasing from 14.11 N/mm2 at 3 days to 32.27 N/

Performance of Recycled Brick Aggregate Concrete Reinforced With Hybrid Rubber and Polypropylene Fibers Under Mechanical, Impact, and Elevated‐Temperature Loading

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Recycled brick aggregate (RBA) offers a practical route to reduce natural aggregate consumption, but its impact and elevated‐temperature performance remain unclear when combined with hybrid fibers. This study evaluates whether rubber fiber (RF) and polypropylene fiber (PPF) can improve the impact resistance (IR) and residual compressive strength (CS ...

Effect of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Bacteria–Coated Jute Fiber on Workability, Durability, and Microstructural Properties of Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Concrete’s durability is often compromised by low tensile strength, cracking, and limited self‐repair. Natural fibers like jute offer reinforcement but may absorb moisture, negatively affecting workability and durability, necessitating additional mortar for optimal performance.
