Predicting the strength of waste aggregate concrete blocks using novel hybrid machine learning models and graphical user interface deployment (opens in new tab)

Concrete blocks made from waste aggregates have become a promising way to reduce waste and conserve natural resources while still offering good mechanical performance in both solid and hollow concrete blocks. This is especially relevant as more sustainable construction projects increasingly use recycled and alternative materials. This research develops a series of novel hybrid machine learning (ML) models to accurately predict compressive strength, using a dataset of 544 concrete samples from...
