Predicting the macroscopic permeability of porous media is critical in various scientific and engineering applications. This study proposes a novel model that combines Random Forest (RF) and rime-ice (RIME) optimization algorithm, denoted RIME-RF-RIME, to predict permeability based on six key features covering fluid phase dimensions, geometric characteristics, surrounding phase permeability, and media porosity.

With the rapid growth of economic development, the circular economy has been raised in many international environmental and socio-economic conferences and forums nowadays. The recycling of plastic waste was one of those aspects. This paper studied the potential of directly reusing plastic bottle caps as bio-carriers in moving bed bioreactors without further waste processing.

Unexpected defects of concrete in a completed bored pile can arise during the construction stage. Therefore, post-construction testing of bored pile concrete is an important part of the design and construction process. The Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) method has been the most widely used to examine the concrete quality.

In this paper, the continuous stiffness measurement (CSM) indentation is employed to investigate fatigue mechanical properties of structural steel under cyclic loading. For this purpose, several representative analytical approaches were introduced to estimate the basic mechanical properties including Young’s modulus and indentation hardness from the characteristics of the loading/unloading curves.

A big question in the numerical approaches for the mechanical behavior of the textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) composite under tensile loading is how to model the cracking of the cementitious matrix. This paper presents numerical results of 3-D modeling of TRC composite in which the non-linear behavior model was used by considering the cracking for the cementitious matrix.
