Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article investigates the influence of industrial waste on the properties of concrete. The components used include microsilica (Ms), phosphogypsum (PhG), soapstock (Sp), post-alcohol distillers’ grains (PaB), and caustic soda (NaOH). The research aims to assess the impact of each of these components on the properties of concrete. Special attention is given to the influence of post-alcohol distillers’ grains on the transformative processes of concrete, specifically its strength indicators, water absorption, and frost resistance. A reference sample is presented as a cement-sand mixture with a 20% inclusion of microsilica, 15% phosphogypsum content, and 10% soapstock content by the weight of cement, microsilica, and phosphogypsum. As a result, hydrophobic concrete with increased strength is obtained. This research represents a significant step towards sustainable construction practices, utilizing industrial waste to enhance the properties of concrete.
