Assesment of Lan Wire Impact On Rigid Pavement: A Eco-Friendly Approach

Abstract

Green building approaches are becoming increasingly popular, which has prompted researchers to focus on recyclables and other types of waste. There needs to be fresh thinking in order to lessen the environmental impact of the building industry, which is a major polluter. This study explores the potential of recycling abandoned Local Area Network (LAN) wires, a significant type of technological trash, as a reinforcing material for sustainable pavement building. The compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths of M40-grade concrete that contains LAN wire trash are also examined in this work. Fuzzy logic, ANN, and GA are examples of soft computing techniques used to optimise the concrete mix design and anticipate its performance. Using 2% LAN wire waste in a two-layer mesh structure after insulation was removed, the maximum compressive strength was 49.42 MPa, which is a 13.5% improvement above standard concrete (43.55 MPa). Additionally, split tensile strength increased by 12.5% to 4.58 MPa and flexural strength by 16% to 5.10 MPa. Soft computing methods including GA, ANN, and Fuzzy Logic were used to improve the concrete mix design. The mix design was improved to a compressive strength of 48.97 MPa after 50 generations by GA. The ANN demonstrated impressive predictive accuracy, with a R² score of 0.986 and an MSE of 0.0012. An example of the long-term usefulness of LAN wire waste in green construction is the use of Fuzzy Logic to the problem of classifying concrete mix quality in relation to performance metrics.
