Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to create 21 combinations of nanosized TiO2 and ZnO (ranging from 0â��2 by weight of cement in HPC). Results show that ZnO negatively impacts compressive strength as its content increases from 0â��2, while TiO2 enhances it by up to 17 with 2 TiO2. By optimizing TiO2 and varying ZnO within the 0â��2 range, compressive strengths between 81â��100 MPa can be achieved. The quadratic model, with significant statistical values, accurately depicts the effects of nanoparticles on compressive strengths. © 2023 by the authors. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85186623776&doi=10.3390%2fASEC2023-16277&partnerID=40&md5=7ef8aecc84cc7b559bdde57a809832aa id_number: 10.3390/ASEC2023-16277 full_text_status: none publication: Engineering Proceedings volume: 56 number: 1 refereed: TRUE citation: Adebanjo, A.U. and Shafiq, N. and Razak, S.N.A. and Kumar, V. and Farhan, S.A. and Adebanjo, I. and Olatoyan, O.J.
