This work introduces a modular, large language model (LLM)-powered agent pipeline that automatically extracts and structures composition–process–property attributes of concrete materials from tables and text in scientific publications, achieving F1 scores up to 0.98 across 17 open and proprietary models and, within about one hour, extracting over 10,000 records from 278 papers screened from more than 27,000 publications; after postprocessing this yields the largest open laboratory database for blended cement concrete with nearly 9,000 high-quality records and over 100 attributes, and machine learning analyses indicate that large, diverse, information-rich datasets improve both in-distribution accuracy and out-of-distribution generalization to unseen materials systems.
