Durability and consolidation behavior of problematic soils stabilized with rice husk ash and green nano-silica

Biogenic synthesis of Ag–ZnO nanocomposites via sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) extract for synergistic photocatalytic degradation of Congo red and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity

In this study, Ag ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by a plant mediated synthesis using an aqueous extract of Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) seeds. The extract served as a source of phytochemical functional groups involved in metal ion complexation, reduction, and surface stabilization. The resulting material was characterize...

Sustainable Nanoparticle Use in Stabilizing Problematic Soils: A Review

Novel interpretable machine learning models for predicting compressive strength of nano-silica concrete

This study provides a robust, interpretable, and generalizable ML framework for optimizing nano-silica concrete mix design and highlights the strong potential of ML, particularly ensemble models combined with explainable AI techniques, to improve prediction reliability, reduce trial-and-error experimentation, and suppo...
