Mathematical model for predicting the ultrasonic pulse velocity of concrete
This paper proposes a mathematical model approach to predict the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) of concrete. This paper presents the formulation, calibration, evaluation, and validation of the proposed UPV model. An experimental program was developed to

Neuro-fuzzy application for concrete strength prediction using combined non-destructive tests [PDF]
The application of the neuro-fuzzy inference system to predict the compressive strength of concrete is presented in this study. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is introduced for training and testing the data sets consisting of various ...

The geomechanical properties of soils treated with nanosilica particles
This study examines the effect of nanosilica (NS) additive to improve the mechanical properties of clay, clayey sand, and sand. The engineering properties of the soils were investigated through Atterberg limits, compaction, unconfined compression ...

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 ...

Effect of Cement Types on Mechanical Strength, Durability, and Unit Production Cost of Concrete
The primary aim of the present study is to identify the optimal cement type by jointly assessing mechanical performance, durability performance, and cost‐effectiveness using multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) approaches. This study investigates the effects of four cement types commonly used in Bangladesh—CEM I/OPC, CEM II/A‐M (S‐V‐L), CEM II/B‐M (S‐V‐

Concrete is the most widely used construction material globally, but it is inherently prone to various factors such as environmental conditions, mechanical stress, and chemical reactions. Stresses such as cracks can significantly reduce the lifespan of concrete structures, leading to increased maintenance costs and environmental impact.
