A Portland cement plaster wall system has many positive features, but one of the physical properties that it does not possess is flexural strength. It is because of the inability of the Portland cement plaster membrane to bend or flex that glass fiber strands were used in Portland cementbased plaster. There are various types of synthetic fibers on the market that will provide flexural strength ...

MODELING OF HYDRATION KINETICS AND SHRINKAGE OF PORTLAND CEMENT PASTE

This paper deals with the identification of MIMO cement mill process using Non-linear Autoregressive with Exogenous Inputs (NARX) models with wavelet network. NARX identification, based on a sequence of input/output samples, collected from a real cement mill process is used for black-box modeling of non-linear cement mill process. The NARX model is considered for two inputs and two outputs of s...

This paper aims to estimate the Value-at-Risk (VaR) using GARCH type models with improved return distribution. Value at Risk (VaR) is an essential benchmark for measuring the risk of financial markets quantitatively. The parametric method, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo simulation have been proposed in several financial mathematics and engineering studies to calculate VaR, that each of ...
