THE RESULT

What the data shows

The largest computed metric is 51.02 for (0.0, 0.2]; the smallest is 28.43 for (0.4, 0.6]. Metric: median_strength (MPa).

No emissions or costs are supplied; a replacement fraction cannot establish a sustainability benefit.

THE METHOD

From source to answer

Restrict to 28-day tests, then summarize strength by slag-plus-fly-ash share.

The Python source exposes this study’s transformations. The complete project download includes shared preparation and evaluation routines.

THE NEXT DECISION

What follows from the finding

Investigate comparable alternatives using additional durability, cost and embodied-carbon evidence.

Where the conclusion stops

Laboratory observations do not certify a construction mix. Composition and curing conditions are confounded. Models require independent engineering validation and cannot replace strength testing.

Related studies may reuse observations or holdouts. These are historical analyses; associations and backtests do not demonstrate commercial impact. Further model tuning needs new, untouched evaluation data.
