Study for the Influence of Mineral Admixtures on the Workability of Self-compacting Concrete by WANG Kunyun, HU Diyong, YANG Zhu

“…As the most important performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC),the workability has been studied extensively and deeply.In addition to high sand ratio and low water-cement ratio,mineral admixtures also have a great impact on the workability of SCC.In order to promote the use and development of SCC,after consulting a large number of domestic and foreign documents,this paper summarizes the use and research status of mineral admixtures in SCC in recent years,reviews the influence of different mineral admixtures on the workability of SCC,and specifies their mechanism.Generally speaking,common admixtures such as fly ash,slag,silica fume and limestone powder can improve part of the workability of SCC,and the main mechanism includes the “morphological effect”,“water reducing effect” and “volume effect” of these admixtures.However,there are few studies on the effects of mineral admixtures such as copper slag,waste glass slag,bagasse ash,pumice powder and lithium slag on the workability of SCC,so they are still in doubt,and need to be further studied.…”

Multiview clustering method for view-unaligned data by Ao LI, Cong FENG, Yutong NIU, Shibiao XU, Yingtao ZHANG, Guanglu SUN

“…A new challenge for multi-view learning was posed by corrupted view-correspondences.To address this issue， an effective multi-view learning method for view-unaligned data was proposed.First，to capture cross-view latent affinity in multi-view heterogenous feature spaces，representation learning was employed based on multi-view non-negative matrix factorization to embed original features into a measurable low-dimensional subspace.Second, view-alignment relationships were modeled as optimal matching of a bipartite graph, which could be generalized to multiple-views situations via the proposed concept reference view.Representation learning and data alignment were further integrated into a unified Bi-level optimization framework to mutually boost the two learning processes, effectively enhancing the ability to learn from view-unaligned data.Extensive experimental results of view-unaligned clustering on three public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms eight advanced multiview clustering methods on multiple evaluation metrics.…”
