Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Lightweight Concrete Containing Pumice and Metakaolin by Masoud Dadkhah, Reza Rahgozar, Ali Bandani, Peyman Rahgozar

“…In this research, the optimal amount of metakaolin used in lightweight concrete containing pumice has been obtained based on the best concrete performance in terms of the greatest simultaneous increase in compressive, tensile and flexural strengths. After choosing the SCLC mixing scheme, L-Box, V-Funnel, Slump flow, and T50 tests were performed to investigate the flowability, passing ability, viscosity, and concrete resistance against segregation. …”

Modeling crowd dynamics through coarse-grained data analysis by Sebastien Motsch, Mehdi Moussaïd, Elsa G. Guillot, Mathieu Moreau, Julien Pettré, Guy Theraulaz, Cécile Appert-Rolland, Pierre Degond

“…We advocate for the development of crowd traffic management systems, whereby observations of crowds can be coupled to fast and reliable models to produce rapid predictions of the crowd movement and eventually help crowd managers choose between tailored optimization strategies. Here, we propose a Bi-directional Macroscopic (BM) model as the core of such a system. …”
