Likewise, Wenner resistivity is a crucial durability parameter to be taken into consideration while monitoring the performance of any concrete members. This paper presents novel prediction models for normal concrete’s compressive strength, static modulus, and Wenner resistivity based on linear regression models and artificial neural networks (ANN). Due to the quicker rate of output convergence, the study used the Levenberg–Marquardt learning algorithm for the ANN model to forecast the aforementioned parameters. The prediction strength (R2) of the ANN technique is 14–20% higher than that of the normal regression model, 11–14% higher than that of the static modulus model, and 10–12.5% higher than that of the Wenner resistivity model. For both ANN and linear regression models, the input parameters considered were the rebound number and pulse velocity. The sample was evaluated by substituting normal stone aggregate (NSA) with varying amounts of recycled concrete aggregate (i.e., 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% RCA) as a coarse aggregate. This study considered age (14, 28, and 90 days) and grade (M20, M25, and M30) into consideration while developing the models. Furthermore, by comparing the developed compressive strength model with earlier models created by other authors, the study found that the generated model performed better for RCA specimens. The findings of this investigation will support the application of RCA in the Indian construction sector and promote utilization of natural coarse aggregate more sustainably.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8513,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Civil Engineering","volume":"26 5","pages":"2135 - 2152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888505","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}

The performance and efficiency of foundations’ supporting geo-structures where higher resistance is desired in one direction and lower resistance in the other direction is an advantage. This study focuses on evaluating the influence of structured roughness design on the interface resistance in sandy soils with different characteristics (mainly grain size). A conventional direct shear test apparatus was modified to experimentally evaluate the interface shear resistance of structured (rough-textured) and untextured (smooth) surfaces in two shearing directions. The interface shear tests were performed on locally available fine, mixed, and medium sands at the same shearing rate and over a range of normal confining stresses. The interface shear test results on smooth surface in the three studied sands showed that the difference in mobilized resistance in both directions (interface resistance anisotropy) is marginal. However, results from tests on structured (rough) surfaces suggest that the mobilized shear resistance is direction dependent (i.e., different) when surfaces with different number of elements were sheared against and along the fine, mixed, and medium sand specimens. The results also indicate that mixed sand showed higher anisotropy followed by the medium, while the interface resistance anisotropy was minimal in fine sand. It was also found that the normal confining stress applied at sand-structured (rough) surface interface has a crucial impact on mobilized resistance under monotonic axial loading.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8513,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Civil Engineering","volume":"26 6","pages":"2419 - 2432"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144074166","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}

Deep learning techniques, in specific those based on image analysis, have proven to be effective tool for damage detection in structural members. In this study, initially captured dataset of 120 images from a laboratory model is augmented to 576 images using the Roboflow platform. Investigations in this work are tied to one image data set and the metrics are analysed for how well a model performs. Usually, it depends on each use case as to which model would be best suited. In the present work, dataset featured two states of bolt loosening: tight and loose. Convolution Neural Network architectures AlexNet and ResNet are applied individually to the augmented dataset to predict the bolt loosening states as binary classification problem. The results demonstrated an accuracy of 87.931%, indicating that the AlexNet model effectively distinguished between loose and tight conditions. Whereas the ResNet algorithm exhibited relatively better accuracy of 90.8%. Further, an integrated hybrid model (CNN model with LSTM) is also applied on the same image data to further enhance the efficiency of the deep learning frame work. The performance of the trained CNN algorithms was further validated with image responses from various real time scenarios of various lighting conditions and found to be fairly good.

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) offers a sustainable alternative by reusing concrete waste, reducing the demand for natural aggregates, and reducing the environmental damage caused by their extraction. Among its properties, compressive strength (CS) is a crucial mechanical indicator of RAC's structural performance, as it establishes the material's ability to support applied loads and adapt to various building applications. This makes evaluating RAC’s potential as a sustainable building material critical. The classical Experimental approaches for predicting compressive strength are time-intensive and pricey. To build analytical models, 18 inputs and 289 data samples were gathered from previous literature. The independent variables are cement, 101 to 520 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;; fly ash, 0 to 390 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;; slags, 0 to 195 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;; natural coarse aggregate, 0 to 1150 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;; recycled coarse aggregate, 0 to 1040 kg/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;; the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate, 0 to 100% with other variables that include silica fume, sand, water/binder, the apparent density of natural coarse aggregate, the apparent density of recycled coarse aggregate, water absorption of natural aggregate, water absorption of recycled aggregate, the maximum particle size of recycled coarse aggregate, cement type, and fineness modulus of recycled coarse aggregate. The compressive strength of this study ranged from 2.44 to 83.70 MPa. Five modeling methods, including Linear Regression, Multi-Linear Regression, Pure Quadratic, Non-Linear Regression, and Non-Linear Inverse Regression, have been conducted in this study to predict the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete. With superior outcomes across all evaluation criteria, the Non-Linear Regression (NLR) model was the most effective predictor of compressive strength. Nevertheless, the Multi-Linear Regression (MLR) model also performed well. Residual error analysis confirmed that the NLR model revealed the least error compared to the other models. Sensitivity investigation shows that age, cement content, and water significantly affect the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete. The findings of this study highlight that the compressive strength of natural coarse aggregate is higher than that of recycled coarse aggregate, and to increase the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete, the mortar attached to the recycled coarse aggregate should be removed. RAC is an efficient alternative for environmentally friendly buildings as it demonstrates enough strength for application on roads, pavements, retaining walls, and temporary structures.

Among various passive strategies for energy efficiency in buildings, building envelope shading is considered a key strategy to control solar heat gain and reduce the cooling loads in buildings. While significant focus has been given to shading glazing components of buildings, this paper addresses a critical gap by investigating the potential of shading the opaque envelope components (OECs), which include opaque walls and roofs. OECs can reduce cooling load by managing the heat ingress into the buildings. Although OECs are not widely used in energy-efficient building strategies, the passive strategies in OECS help control heat gains and decrease cooling loads, especially in hot climates. This study investigates the shading strategies of opaque OECs in a two-stage review, initially reviewing the global building energy codes to assess the inclusion of OEC shading strategies and then identifying effective shading techniques for walls and roofs through a systematic literature review. The review of energy codes reveals that very few energy codes explicitly address OEC shading with a single instance mentioned in the energy codes of Australia and India. In contrast, all the codes explicitly specify window shading as a passive strategy. The SLR further demonstrates that the shading OECs can significantly reduce cooling demands, with strategies such as overhangs, green facades, double-skin roofs, and photovoltaic panels showing up to 77% energy savings. The shading potential provides considerable scope for integrating the shading of OECs as a passive strategy that can be incorporated into the energy for better adoption in the buildings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8513,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Civil Engineering","volume":"26 5","pages":"1865 - 1879"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888739","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}
