This paper presents application of artificial neural network to develop model for predicting 28 days compressive strength of concrete with partial replacement of cement with nano-silica for which the data has been taken from various literatures. The use of nano-particle materials in concrete can add many benefits that are directly related to the durability of various cementitious materials, bes...

Cementitious materials are an excellent example of a composite material with complex hierarchical features and random features that range from nanometer (nm) to millimeter (mm) scale. Multi-scale modeling of complex material systems requires starting from fundamental building blocks to capture the scale relevant features through associated computational models. In this paper, molecular dynamics...

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) is a durable material with high tensile ductility and strain-hardening characteristics. Although considered as cost-effective fiber for ECC, polypropylene (PP) reportedly difficult to disperse in mortar matrix due its aspect ratio hydrophobicity. In this study, the viscosity of low-carbon ECC based on limestone calcined clay cement was tailored variable ...
