Abstract
Cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 (Carbon dioxide) emissions. To minimize its environmental impact while maintaining the required mechanical properties of cement, there is a pressing need for sustainable production processes. This paper focuses on developing sustainable cement production processes by optimizing the mechanical properties of limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) using data-driven models based on artificial intelligence. The study explores the use of data augmentation techniques, specifically the copulas method, to improve the performance of linear regression models for linking the compressive strength of LC3 with its mix design. While data augmentation using copulas can be useful in augmenting tabular data, its effectiveness in improving linear regression performance may depend on the statistical characteristics of the original data. The method successfully generated additional data that preserved the original statistical properties, but it did not always lead to significant improvements in linear regression performance. The research highlights the potential of data-driven models for optimizing cement materials properties and emphasizes the importance of considering the statistical characteristics of the original data when applying data augmentation techniques.
