Construction sector is mainly liable for waning of natural resources and environmental
imbalances due to its unplanned mining activities. The massive use of concrete due to boom …

The construction industry has a significant environmental impact, contributing considerably
to CO2 emissions, natural resource depletion, and energy consumption. The construction …

Waste foundry sand (WFS), a by-product of the casting industry, is a potential material that
may be employed as a substitute for fine aggregate in concrete. In the present study, gene …

The aim of this research is to establish the fracture properties of high performance concrete
(HPC) containing hybrid–basalt (B) and polypropylene (P) fibres. The experimental …

Ensemble learning (EL) has gained popularity in recent investigations because of its higher
prediction accuracy than conventional machine learning (ML) methods. Regressors and EL …

This research employed machine learning (ML) and SHapley Additive ExPlanations (SHAP)
methods to assess the strength and impact of raw ingredients of cement mortar (CM) …

The granite waste (GW) generated during mining extraction is responsible for environmental
degradation. Millions of tonnes of stored GW are currently still not being reused. This paper …

Solid wastes from coal industry, such as coal gangue (CG), coal bottom ash (CBA) and fly
ash (FA) from coal-fired power plants, pose a significant impact on the environment. Thus, it …

The study on the physical properties and durability of concrete with admixture cellulose
nanofibrils (ACNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CCNC) was presented in the paper. The …

The use of waste materials in the building industry is a major challenge for eco-efficient
