Optimization of the Ternary Concrete Mix Design using Gaussian Process Regression

This study demonstrates that Gaussian Process Regression is a superior predictive model for optimizing the mechanical performance of sustainable ternary concrete blends using ground granulated blast furnace slag and limestone powder, identifying a 30% GGBFS and 15% LSP mix as the optimal balance of strength properties while reducing carbon emissions.

Physics-Integrated Machine Learning Framework for Predicting the Load Capacity of Single Row Bolted Steel to Timber Connections in Tropical Hardwoods

This study presents a physics-integrated machine learning framework that successfully predicts the lateral load capacity of single-row bolted steel-to-timber connections in Malaysian tropical hardwoods (Balau and Bitis) by training models to correct discrepancies between experimental results and existing design codes, thereby offering a reliable pathway for extending timber design standards to tropical species.

Experimental Investigation of Strength and Durability Characteristics of Alkaline Activated Slag Concrete Replacing the Fine Aggregate with Bottom Ash

This study demonstrates that replacing up to 40% of natural fine aggregate with bottom ash in alkali-activated slag concrete yields a sustainable material with optimal workability and compressive strength at a 0.45 activator-to-binder ratio, while maintaining structural integrity and exceptional resistance to acid and sulfate attacks.

Cepstral FIR-Robust Classification: A Homomorphic-Deconvolution Descriptor in Space with a Generating Element

This paper demonstrates that liftered cepstral descriptors, which remove low-quefrency additive perturbations in the log-spectrum to mitigate FIR convolutional distortions, significantly outperform standard spectral profiles in robustness for bearing-fault classification while maintaining clean accuracy, a finding validated through controlled experiments on CWRU and DroneRF datasets.
