Compressive BLAST. For the search phase, we implemented a two-step variant of BLAST. First, the algorithm uses standard BLAST to search the unique data (that is, ...

A new study presents a machine learning model that accurately predicts the compressive strength of high-strength concrete, ...

From the mud, straw, and gypsum mixtures of ancient Egypt's monumental pyramids to the sophisticated underwater material ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

Penn professors Masoud Akbarzadeh of the Weitzman School and Shu Yang of the School of Engineering and Applied Science have ...

As with other masonry units, compressive strength is a basic measure of quality for masonry mortars. However, there is a great variety of methodology for determining their parameters and properties, ...
