“Specifically, two key transport properties—water sorptivity and the oxygen permeability index—showed reduced durability when high plastic content was used, consistent with the observed increase in concrete porosity.”

In the citing paper
“Lastly, Steyn et al. [115] investigated the effect of replacing sand with up to 30% recycled LDPE particles, finding that when low substitution ratios are adopted, good concrete workability and mechanical performance can be achieved, allowing concrete to be used for various applications, including structural ones.”

In the citing paper
“The only limitations they identified were excess water and poor bonding at the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the plastic particles and the cement matrix, which negatively affect concrete durability, among other factors.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
