Executive Summary : | It is worth noting that as of my knowledge till date, there is a limited study on the durability of UHPFRC conducted in India. Given the importance of assessing the long-term performance and sustainability of this advanced construction material, there is a clear need for research initiatives in India to investigate the durability characteristics of UHPFRC under local environmental conditions. such studies would provide valuable insights for the Indian construction industry, aiding in the optimization, application, and further development of UHPFRC for future infrastructure projects in the country. Hence this research aims to carry a study on the long-term durability properties of concrete and also use modern tools such as Machine Learning to predict the durability properties efficiently. |
