“…To determine the multi-quality characteristics, this study adopted the materials used in previous studies [5][6][7][8] as the control factors in experiments. At such, a full factorial experiments with seven control factors & three levels as shown in Table 1 would produce Taguchi's orthogonal array with only 18 experiments and then corresponding responses to each of these factors were then analyzed.…”

Abstract. In order to comply with the implementation of sustainable development, the construction industry through the use of less polluting green energy technology is already imminent and more had to do. Production of Portland cement consumes large amount of energy and releases lots of carbon dioxide, nevertheless, the developing of sustainable society means more urgent and important to search for new cementitious materials to replace Portland cement in future constructions. The research employs Taguchi method to identify the key factors influencing the performance of alkali activated silica fume concrete in which amorphous silicon solar cells are ground and added into the mixture. Taguchi method has made valuable contributions to statistics and engineering. It provides techniques for investigating variation in experiments, system, parameter and tolerance design, all of which have been influential in improving manufactured quality. The conclusions were made thru ANOVA and F-test based on the statistical analyses. Next, we expect the inconsistence observed in the study to be further resolved by Grey Relational Analysis which is a normalization evaluation technique to solve the complicated multi-performance characteristics optimization effectively.

ABSTRACT:In this article we demonstrated the study of strength and durability of cement paste blended with waste solar PV cells. In order to investigate the corresponding performance of both strength and durability due to the sustainable use of solar PV panels in cement-based composite, in which the cement was replaced with amorphous PV powders from discarded solar PV panels with a high proportion of silicon dioxide. The conclusions were made on effect of this cement replacement. The use of ground solar cells for various properties of cement-based composite was investigated, and as a result, we identified the factors affecting the strength and durability for those of cement mortar specimens which had predefined and made in laboratory. As a summary, using solar PV cells as the cement replacement did not perform well from a strength perspective while it did give a better performance of durability.

Abstract. The construction industry through the use of less polluting green energy technology is already imminent and more had to do, and continue to improve as the development of green energy. Concrete is the most common-used construction material in the modern world. Traditional concrete is a composite, which is made of aggregate, Portland cement and water. Production of Portland cement consumes large amount of energy and releases lots of carbon dioxide, nevertheless, the developing of sustainable society means more urgent and important to search for new cementitious materials to replace Portland cement in future constructions. The research employs Taguchi method and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) to invetigate the performance of alkali activated silica fume concrete in which amorphous silicon solar cells are ground and added into the mixture in three-phase analysis. Firstly, this study used Taguchi's orthogonal array to evaluate the influence of the control factors and identify the important factors influencing quality characteristics. Secondly, all normalizing experiment variables ranked the grey relational grades of multi-quality characteristics. Finally, this study integrated the Taguchi method and the equal weights by using GRA to establish both equal and entropy weight-based grey relational values.
