TL;DR: In this paper, the applicability of support vector machine (SVM) based regression to predict fracture characteristics and failure load (P max ) of high strength and ultra high strength concrete beams was examined.

TL;DR: In this article, experimental investigation on mechanical properties and fracture toughness of Eco-friendly concrete produced, using coconut shell as coarse aggregate, blast furnace slag as a partial replacement for cement and manufactured sand as fine aggregate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used modern instrumental techniques such as electronic particle size distribution, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive Xray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Infrared Spectroscopy(FT-IR) were employed in the study.

TL;DR: The Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu state is one of the severe to very high landslide hazard prone areas of India, according to the landslide hazard atlas published by Building Materials and Technology Promotion Council, Government of India.

TL;DR: In this article, the stress-strain behaviour of coconut shell concrete incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag and manufactured sand was obtained and it was in good fit with popovics model.
