A perennial plant Miscanthus x giganteus has found its habitat and multiple applications in Europe, despite the fact that it originates from Asia. This study presents potential use of this new lightweight concrete materials so-called bio-concretes. The above-ground part was harvested, dried, crushed, mixed with binders different proportions. After casting drying, samples were characterized phys...

Assessing the structure of a building with non-invasive methods is an important problem. One possible approaches to use GeoRadar examine wall structures by analyzing data obtained from scans. However, so far, have be assessed manually, relying on experience user in interpreting GPR radargrams. We propose data-driven approach evaluate material composition its In order generate training data, we ...

The length of SOAP vectors is determined by a radial basis cutoff nmax and an angular basis (spherical harmonic) cutoff lmax. We tuned the SOAP parameters to produce the best predictive results for GB energy using a grid search over radial cutoff values from 3.5 : 0.5 : 6.0 (from next-nearest neighbor shell up to fifth-nearest neighbors), lmax ∈ [8, 20], and nmax ∈ [8, 20]. The best performance...

Brick is one of the most common masonry units as a building material due to its properties. Many attempts have been made to incorporate wastes into the production of bricks, for examples, rubber, limestone dust, wood sawdust, processed waste tea, fly ash, polystyrene and sludge. Recycling such wastes by incorporating them into building materials is a practical solution for pollution problem. Th...

Green concrete is a concept of thinking environment into concrete considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mixture design to structural design, construction and service life. Green concrete is a type of concrete which resembles the conventional concrete but the production or usage of such concrete requires minimum amount of energy and causes least harm to the environment. Si...

Re-use and recycling in the construction sector is essential to keep resource use check. Data availability about material contents of buildings significant challenge for planning future re-use potentials. Compiling intensity (MI) data time intensive. Often studies end up with only a handful datapoints. In order adequately cover diversity materials found cities, accurately assess stocks at detai...
