Reiventing Jobsite Safety
Constructor Magazine
With the coronavirus pandemic worsening drastically this summer, executives at Suffolk Construction, an AGC of New York State LLC and Rhode Island Chapter-AGC member, figure it’s only a matter of time before a worker shows up sick to one of its many jobsites across the country. But for COVID-19 to spread at one of those sites, it will have to jump through more hoops than a circus tiger.

New Systems Aim to Improve Jobsite Safety Awareness
ENR
Construction companies can’t afford to scrimp on jobsite safety because even a single accident comes at too high a price, say industry professionals and insurers.
However, the growing availability of safety wearables, site sensors, exoskeletons, image-generating drones and other safety-oriented systems raises a key question: Are the results they provide worth the costs, particularly among contractors with limited dollars at their disposal? -
Can the compressive strength of concrete be estimated from knowledge of the mixture proportions?: New insights from statistical analysis and machine learning methods
https://www.elsevier.com/locate/cemconres
The use of statistical and machine learning approaches to predict the compressive strength of concrete based on mixture proportions, on account of its industrial importance, has received significant attention. However, previous studies have been limited to small, laboratory-produced data sets. This study presents the first analysis of a large data set (> 10,000 observations) of measured compressive strengths from actual (job-site) mixtures and their corresponding actual mixture proportions…
The use of statistical and machine learning approaches to predict the compressive strength of concrete based on mixture proportions, on account of its industrial importance, has received significant attention. However, previous studies have been limited to small, laboratory-produced data sets. This study presents the first analysis of a large data set (> 10,000 observations) of measured compressive strengths from actual (job-site) mixtures and their corresponding actual mixture proportions. Predictive models are applied to examine relationships between the mixture design variables and strength, and to thereby develop an estimate of the (28-day) strength. These models are also applied to a laboratory-based data set of strength measurements published by Yeh et al. (1998) and the performance of the models across both data sets is compared. Furthermore, to illustrate the value of such
models beyond simply strength prediction, they are used to design optimal concrete mixtures that minimize cost and embodied CO2 impact while satisfying imposed target strengths.

MACHINE LEARNING CONCRETE OPTIMIZATION
Issued US 2023/0416164 Al
Artificial intelligence and machine learning models are used to make concrete-related predictions. Many permutations of concrete mixtures are generated. Machine learning algorithms are used to evaluate and recommend a generated concrete mixture based on a set of specifications. The generated concrete mixture can be sent to a plant for production. The actual concrete mixture that was used to manufacture the concrete product can be received from the manufacturer. An amount of emission reductions…

The actual concrete mixture that was used to manufacture the concrete product can be received from the manufacturer. An amount of emission reductions and/or cost savings can be determined from the actual as-batched concrete mixture and an associated reference concrete mixture. The real-world data are used to train the machine learning models.
