Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study investigates the effects of replacing Portland cement (PC) with metakaolin (MK) on the pore solution composition of cementitious binders. Using the empirical Taylor model and a thermodynamic model (GEMS), the required replacement levels of PC by MK are computed to achieve different threshold alkali metal concentrations. GEMS predicts that similar amounts of MK (15-20%) are required regardless of w/b-ratio and PC alkali content, which does not match with the experimental evidence. The Taylor model captures better the effect of these variables, predicting replacement levels ranging from 0 to 40%. Results are visualized through contour and 3D plots, highlighting the complex interactions and effects of SCMs on concrete durability.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
