Study on the Influence of Fiber Parameters on the Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete by Yu Zhao, Nan Ru, Jun Wang, Yong Li, Yi Zhou

“…The experimental results demonstrated the following: (1) At a 3% fiber content, compressive and flexural strengths increased by 25.7% and 280%, respectively, compared to the control group; (2) the elastic modulus peaked at 2% fiber content, with excessive content (3%) causing an uneven fiber dispersion and diminishing performance gains; (3) short fibers (6 mm) achieved optimal compressive strength at 3% content and medium-length fibers (13 mm) significantly enhanced flexural strength, while long fibers (25 mm) maximized the elastic modulus at 2% content. …”

A systematic review on machine learning-aided design of engineered biochar for soil and water contaminant removal by Yunpeng Ge, Kaiyang Ying, Guo Yu, Muhammad Ubaid Ali, Abubakr M. Idris, Abubakr M. Idris, Asfandyar Shahab, Habib Ullah, Habib Ullah

“…We examine key biochar characteristics, including physical (e.g., surface area, pore volume), chemical (e.g., ultimate/proximate analysis, aromatization), electrochemical (e.g., cation exchange capacity, electrical conductivity), and functional group properties, and their optimization for various contaminants. With special attention on three mechanistic dimensions, this review offers the first thorough study of ML applications for designing biochars based on pilot and industrial-scale data: ML forecasts micropore-mesopore synergies controlling diffusion-limited adsorption of heavy metals (Pb²+, Cd²+); surface chemistry optimization - including oxygen functional group (-COOH, -OH); and electrochemical tuning - of redox-active sites for contaminant transformation. …”
