When decreases the pressure from 0 GPa to -10 GPa at 70 K, the lengths of the links Si-Si, Si-O, and O-O initially increase and then decrease, the system size increases, and the total energy of the system increases. During the diffusion process, number of structural units SiO4 increases, whereas the number of structural units SiO5 decreases. The average coordination number of link Si-O is constantly 4.0, while the average coordination number of link O-O decreases from 7.0 to 6.0, leading to changes in the microstructural characteristics. This is accompanied by changes in bond angles, with SiO4 has is 105 (degree) and SiO5 decreasing from 90 (degree) to 85 (degree). The length of the links increases from 1.64 Å to 1.66 Å for number of structural units SiO4 and increases from 1.68 Å to 1.74 Å for SiO5 units. These findings provide a basis for future experimental studies aimed at the research and development of advanced materials.","PeriodicalId":117856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Transport Technology","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141344413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithm is combined with novel metaheuristic algorithms, namely Sailfish Optimizer and Aquila Optimizer, to fine-tune its hyperparameters. The robustness and generalizability of these optimized hyperparameters are ensured through 200 Monte Carlo simulations (MCS). The model is constructed based on a database of 207 experimental results. Its performance is evaluated using three criteria: root mean squared error, mean absolute error, and the coefficient of determination. This study includes a performance comparison of the XGB4 model with eight other ML models, namely CatBoost (CAT), Gradient Boosting (GB), Hist Gradient Boosting (HGB), default XGB, Light Gradient Boosting (LGB), Linear Regression (LR), and Random Forest (RF). This comparison identifies the most effective model for predicting the MLC of columns. Additionally, this study explores the interpretability of the XGB model by SHAP values. This analysis illuminates the significance and interactions of various input features in predicting the FRP-confined CRCC's MLC. It offers insights into the primary elements influencing structural behavior by displaying a graphical depiction of the impact of specific characteristics on the model's output. This study culminates in developing an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) based on the XGB model.

Understanding the physical and geotechnical properties of basalt rocks is essential for ensuring the stability and safety of structures built on or within these formations. It is crucial to understand how basalt rocks deform and fail under applied loads for geotechnical assessments. Deformation and failure mechanisms are influenced by factors such as jointing, weathering, and stress conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis is necessary to ensure reliable engineering designs. Proper site investigations and geotechnical assessments are essential to address these challenges effectively and ensure reliable engineering designs. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the geotechnical properties of basalt rocks, including their origin, mineralogy, physical characteristics, and engineering behavior. The paper also includes case studies of the Sardar Sarovar (Narmada) dam Project and Karjan dam, Gujarat, India, highlighting the successful utilization of basalt rocks in the construction of major dams and underground powerhouse.

This causes a deterioration in the service quality, leading to a lot of maintenance costs. These failures are often related to bond between layers of asphalt concrete. Therefore, this paper shows the evaluation results of shear bond of double-layer asphalt (with tack coat rate of 0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8 l/m2) based on shear test at the experimental temperatures (25, 40, 60oC), normal pressure (0, 0.14, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 MPa). The results show that, when the temperature increases from 25oC to 60oC, the shear bond between the asphalt layers decreases sharply. At 25oC, the average shear bond that tested with normal pressure of 0.6 MPa increases by 52.19% compared to that tested at pressure of 0 MPa. When the temperature reaches 60oC, the average shear bond that tested with normal pressure 0.6 MPa increases by 94.87% compared to that tested at 0 MPa pressure. At 25°C, non-tack coat samples have lowest shear bond. However, at 40oC and 60oC, the shear bond of 0.8 l/m2 tack coat-based samples reach the lowest value. At the same time, a regression equation between shear bond and input variables proposed by Minitab V17 software provides high reliability results.","PeriodicalId":117856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Transport Technology","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131168943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
