Prediction of Elastic Modulus of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
This Graphical User Interface (GUI), which is designed in MATLAB environment, would allow civil engineers to predict the elastic modulus of recycled aggregate concrete from its mixture proportions and components characteristics. The required input variables for this purpose include: (1) water-cement ratio (w/c), (2) coarse aggregate cement ratio (CA/C), (3) volume replacement of NA by recycled aggregate RA (r), (4) fine aggregate-total aggregate ratio (FA/TA), (5) saturated surface dry specific gravity (SGSSD), (6) water absorption (Wa) of the mixed (NA+RA) coarse aggregates, and (7) 28-day cube compressive strength (f'c) of the mixture.

Optimal Mix Design of Silica Fume Concrete
This Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed to determine the optimal mix design of silica fume concrete. It allows the users to input the unit prices and specific gravities of the mixture components in the "Concrete mix properties" area. Then, after setting the values of required compressive strength and air volume, the amounts of different components for the optimized mix design will be calculated.
