High greenhouse gas emissions from the production of building materials are a major contributor to the current climate crisis. However, developing alternative building materials is complex. Traditional laboratory methods are reaching their limits. Artificial intelligence, on the other hand, can give research a new dynamic.
Novel materials are usually developed manually in the laboratory rather than on a computer. This makes the processes time-consuming, difficult and expensive. With the app SLAMD (Sequential Learning App for Materials Discovery), materials researchers can explore the potential of artificial intelligence to speed up materials research and easily apply AI in the lab. The app was developed by our team at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) led by Prof. Sabine Kruschwitz together with a team in the Department of Building Materials and Construction Chemistry at TU Berlin led by Prof. Dietmar Stephan.
It uses material composition and characterization data to predict ideal material candidates. It can be used to optimize many material properties simultaneously and even incorporates database information such as carbon footprint, material cost or resource availability. Unlike the usual data-intensive AI methods, SLAMD optimally integrates existing knowledge and human feedback, and provides numerous decision support tools to precisely navigate complex scientific knowledge processes towards success.
In this talk, we will present some case studies where we were able to find suitable advanced materials in a few months instead of several years. We will talk about the challenges we overcame and the future potential we see for this approach to developing the green materials of the future.
With 8% of man-made CO2 emissions, cement production is an important driver of the climate crisis. By using alkali-activated binders, part of the energy-intensive clinker production process can be dispensed. However, as numerous raw materials are involved in the manufacturing process here, the complexity of the materials increases by orders of magnitude. Finding a properly balanced binder formulation is like looking for a needle in a haystack. We have shown for the first time that artificial intelligence (AI)-based optimization of alkali-activated binder formulations can significantly accelerate research.
The "Sequential Learning App for Materials Discovery" (SLAMD) aims to accelerate practice transfer. With SLAMD, materials scientists have low-threshold access to AI through interactive and intuitive user interfaces. The value added by AI can be determined directly. For example, the CO2 emissions saved per ton of cement can be determined for each development cycle: the more efficient the AI optimization, the greater the savings.
Our material database already includes more than 120,000 data points of alternative binders and is constantly being expanded with new parameters. We are currently driving the enrichment of the data with a life cycle analysis of the building materials.
Based on a case study we show how intuitive access to AI can drive the adoption of techniques that make a real contribution to the development of resource-efficient and sustainable building materials of the future and make it easy to identify when classical experiments are more efficient.

The objective of SLAMD is to accelerate materials research in the wet lab through AI. Currently, the focus is on sustainable concrete and binder formulations, but it can be extended to other material classes in the future.
1. Summary
Leverage the Digital Lab and AI optimization to discover exciting new materials Represent resources and processes and their socio-economic impact.
Calculate complex compositions and enrich them with detailed material knowledge. Integrate laboratory data and apply it to novel formulations. Tailor materials to the purpose to achieve the best solution.
Workflow
Digital Lab
Specify resources: From base materials to manufacturing processes – "Base" enables a detailed and consistent description of existing resources
Combine resources: The combination of base materials and processes offers an almost infinite optimization potential. "Blend" makes it easier to design complex configurations.
Digital Formulations: With "Formulations" you can effortlessly convert your resources into the entire spectrum of possible concrete formulations. This automatically generates a detailed set of data for AI optimization.
AI-Optimization
Materials Discovery: Integrate data from the "Digital Lab" or upload your own material data. Enrich the data with lab results and adopt the knowledge to new recipes via artificial intelligence. Leverage socio-economic metrics to identify recipes tailored to your requirements.
We present the results of a machine learning (ML)- inspired data fusion approach, applied to multi-sensory nondestructive testing (NDT) data. Our dataset consists of Impact-Echo (IE), Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (US) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurements collected on large-scale concrete specimens with built–in simulated honeycombing defects. In a previous study we were able to improve the detectability of honeycombs by fusing the information from the three different sensors with the density based clustering algorithm DBSCAN. We demonstrated the advantage of data fusion in reducing the false positives up to 10% compared to the best single sensor, thus, improving the detectability of the defects. The main objective of this contribution is to investigate the generality, i.e. whether the conclusions from one specimen can be adapted to the other. The effectiveness of the proposed approach on a separate full-scale concrete specimen was evaluated.

For the closure of radioactive waste disposal facilities engineered barriers- so called “drift seals” are used. The purpose of these barriers is to constrain the possible infiltration of brine and to prevent the migration of radionuclides into the biosphere. In a rock salt mine a large scale in-situ experiment of a sealing construction made of salt concrete was set up to prove the technical feasibility and operability of such barriers. In order to investigate the integrity of this structure, non-destructive ultrasonic measurements were carried out.
Therefore two different methods were applied at the front side of the test-barrier:
1 Reflection measurements from boreholes
2 Ultrasonic imaging by means of scanning ultrasonic echo methods This extended abstract is a short version of an article to be published in a special edition of ASCE Journal that will briefly describe the sealing construction, the application of the non-destructive ultrasonic measurement methods and their adaptation to the onsite conditions -as well as parts of the obtained results. From this a concept for the systematic investigation of possible contribution of ultrasonic methods for quality assurance of sealing structures may be deduced.
We present the results of several machine learning (ML)- inspired data fusion algorithms applied to multi-sensory nondestructive testing (NDT) data. Our dataset consists of Impact-Echo (IE), Ultrasonic Pulse Echo (US) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data collected on large-scale concrete specimens with built–in simulated honeycombing defects. The main objective is to improve the detectability of honeycombs by fusing the information from the three different sensors. We describe normalization, feature detection and optimal feature selection. We have used unsupervised and supervised ML, i.e., classification and clustering, for data fusion. We demonstrate the advantage of data fusion in reducing the false positives up to 10% compared to the best single sensor, thus, improving the detectability of the defects. The methods were evaluated on a concrete specimen. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was demonstrated on a separate full-scale concrete specimen. The results indicate the transportability of the conclusions from one specimen to the other.
