However, in engineering practice, how to quickly select an appropriate mix design that balances performance and cost-effectiveness remains a challenge. In this study, a machine learning and mechanical performance-driven selection method was established. First, a high-fidelity dataset comprising 240 sets of data with 18 input variables was constructed. Next, hyperparameter tuning of the algorithmic model was performed using random search combined with Fourier optimization, followed by Pearson correlation analysis, prediction accuracy evaluation, and Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis on the dataset. Finally, multiple possible mix designs were generated based on the prediction model and the target concrete compressive strength. These were sequentially processed through a constructed mechanical model, the weight coefficient allocation and normalization calculation process, and a comprehensive performance index model, ultimately obtaining the optimal mix design. A case study was presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. In the prediction model, the CatBoost algorithm model developed achieved high prediction accuracy for ECC performance, with <em>R</em>-values of 0.97, 0.95, and 0.91 for compressive strength, tensile strength, and tensile strain, respectively.Factors affecting ECC's mechanical properties mainly include the water-to-binder ratio, cement, silica fume, and fiber fracture elongation, with their average SHAP values over twice those of other inputs. Additionally, a design case validates the rationality of the design method proposed in this study. This study can provide guidance for the broader application of ECC in practical engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9865,"journal":{"name":"Cement & concrete composites","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 106532"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146152969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates a novel approach combining CO<sub>2</sub> mixing technique with waste glass powder (WGP) incorporation to address this challenge while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of construction materials. Through systematic examination of fresh and hardened properties of both cast concrete and 3D printed specimens prepared with varying WGP contents (0-30% cement replacement), it is demonstrated that while WGP initially enhances workability but reduces early-age strength development, the application of CO<sub>2</sub> mixing creates a remarkable synergistic effect that reverses these trends. The results reveal that CO<sub>2</sub> mixing substantially enhances the yield stress and early-age penetration resistance of concrete which reflects a better buildability of 3DPC, with these improvements being dramatically amplified in the presence of WGP. Specifically, concrete containing 30% WGP showed a 1188% increase in penetration resistance after CO<sub>2</sub> mixing, compared to only 304% for WGP-free concrete. Microstructural investigations indicate that this synergistic enhancement occurs through a dual mechanism. WGP releases alkali ions in the carbonation-induced acidic environment, promoting additional calcium carbonate formation, while simultaneously providing silica-rich nucleation sites that accelerate cement hydration. Furthermore, the combination of WGP and CO<sub>2</sub> mixing effectively addresses the interlayer bonding challenges typically associated with 3DPC, showing improved interfacial strength compared to either treatment alone.

To investigate this, a low-carbon model cementitious paste was exposed to 5 and 50 mmol/L MgCl<sub>2</sub> solutions for few months, as well as in pure water, to assess its impact on leaching kinetics and mechanical properties. The increase in MgCl<sub>2</sub> concentration, leads to a comparable phenomenology, only the deterioration rate increases with higher Mg levels. When immersed in pure water, the Ca leaching of the paste is more progressive, and the degraded depth is slightly lower than that of magnesium attack. Immersion in pure water appears to generate larger pores compared to magnesium attack and a higher reduction in E<sub>PSIM</sub> is observed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9865,"journal":{"name":"Cement & concrete composites","volume":"169 ","pages":"Article 106518"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146138705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
