The abundance of waste plastic is a major issue for the sustainability of the environment as
plastic pollutes rivers, land, and oceans. However, the versatile behavior of plastic (it is …

Advanced characterization techniques have provided powerful tools for characterizations of
materials at micro-and nano-scales worldwide. Although some overviews on …

This study investigates the size effect on the compressive strength of foamed concrete at the
mesoscale level combining X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) and a discrete lattice model …

For a single batch material, time intervals and nozzle standoff distances between two
subsequent layers are two critical printing parameters that influence the mechanical …

Computer aided optimization of cement-based materials proportion can accurately quantify
the accompanying microstructure evolution, material composition, and the mechanical …

This study explores the use of supervised machine learning (ML) to predict the mechanical
properties of a family of two-phase materials using their microstructural images. Random two …

Predicting the mechanical performance of concrete from composition and processing
remains a grand challenge. Our work focuses on predicting damage evolution in ultrahigh …

This paper explores buildability quantification of randomly meshed 3D printed concrete
objects by considering structural failure by elastic buckling. The newly proposed model …

This study aims to predict the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated concrete (AAC)
