Literature Sharing 68: Evaluating the compressive strength of concrete made from recycled concrete aggregates using machine learning methods

In today’s rapidly developing construction industry, the demand for concrete as a core building material continues to rise.

Rebar Saddles

Subsequently, the massive accumulation of construction demolition waste and the increasing depletion of natural aggregate resources are driving the development of recycled concrete technology under the dual pressure of environmental protection and resource scarcity.

Although the application of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) can effectively alleviate this dilemma, the compressive strength, as a key indicator of concrete quality, has the disadvantages of high consumables, high cost, and long cycle in traditional compression testing.

This article will share a study on using machine learning technology to predict the compressive strength of recycled concrete, providing a more efficient solution for engineering practice.

Key points of winter concrete construction technology and quality control

When the daily average outdoor temperature is below 5 ℃ for 5 consecutive days, or the daily minimum temperature is below 0 ℃, it enters the category of “winter construction”.

At this time, concrete is most prone to “early freezing damage”: the volume of water freezing expands by about 9%, forming microcracks inside.

Even if it is later subjected to normal temperature curing, its strength can never be restored to its unfrozen level.

Construction plan for appearance quality control of precast T-beam concrete

As an experienced engineer who has been working on bridge construction sites for decades, I am well aware that the appearance quality of precast T-beams is not only a facade project, but also a direct reflection of their internal quality.

A T-shaped beam with a smooth appearance and uniform color often means that its internal quality can withstand the test.

The beams with honeycomb and pockmarks on the surface and staggered cracks may also have hidden quality hazards.

Causes and Control Management Measures of Concrete Structure Cracks in Renowned Enterprises

Concrete cracks are a common problem in the engineering field, which can be divided into two types based on their properties: non stress cracks (temperature, shrinkage type) and stress cracks.

They not only affect the structural appearance and waterproof performance, but can also reduce the bearing capacity and shorten the service life in severe cases.

Therefore, it is necessary to control risks throughout the entire process.

Technical requirements for adding asphalt surface layer on old cement concrete pavement

1、 Various diseases on the original concrete slab surface need to be treated, and the treatment plan will be determined according to the actual situation.

But the joints on the original concrete slab must be treated, the debris inside must be removed, and filled with pure asphalt.

In addition, a modified emulsified asphalt adhesive layer must be sprayed before laying asphalt concrete on the concrete surface.
