Study on Adiabatic Temperature Rise Reflecting Hydration Degree of Concrete by Yanhua Han, Shaojun Fu, Shufa Wang, Zuowei Xie

“…By comparing simulated temperatures with various measured results, it can be found that the numerical analysis results of parameters calculated by BP neural network are closest to the measured values in the whole curing ages. Therefore, BP neural network method is an effective way to calculate the thermal parameters, and BP inversion algorithm provides a new way for accurately study the temperature profile of mass concrete structures.…”

Technique for improving concrete characteristics with bacillus: Insights on strength and durability by Sayali Sandbhor, Sayali Apte, Shubham Puranik, Mansi Asati, Samyak Rai

“…. • The proposed method of concrete mix with Bacillus Sphaericus Solution in 30 ml concentration, replacing partial water cement ratio, yields maximum compressive strength on 28th day curing. For expediting setting time with high compressive strength, adding Bacillus Sphaericus solution in 45 ml concentration is recommended. • For achieving a homogenous mix with lesser cracks on 28th day, Bacillus Subtilis Spores in 30 ml concentration can be added to concrete with partial replacement of the water requirement.…”
