Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the advancement of computer technology and the social economy, the progress that has been made in digital, intelligent, and information technology offers boundless possibilities for shaping future green structures. It also presents a new direction for implementing disaster prevention and reduction measures in extreme events. The objective of this Special Issue is to promote and present recent advancements in artificial intelligence, green and low-carbon technologies, disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as sustainable development in the field of engineering structures. This includes but is not limited to the following topics:

  1. innovative applications of green and low-carbon technologies;
  2. artificial intelligence throughout the entire life cycle of structural design, construction, operation, and maintenance;
  3. high-performance materials for building structures;
  4. innovative use of intelligent robots in structural engineering;
  5. methods for structural disaster prevention, reduction, and risk assessment under extreme events;
  6. application of artificial intelligence in structural construction and disaster prevention;
  7. theories regarding new types of structural designs along with related innovative technologies.

In order to foster a more sustainable and eco-friendly trajectory for the construction industry, while concurrently mitigating environmental pollution and energy inefficiency, it is imperative to cultivate an environmentally conscious building and urban environment. Under the background of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality, the green building rating system has become a research hotspot in the field of green building. This paper systematically summarizes the research progress of the GBRS in weight setting, indicator setting, and the evaluation process, and creatively proposes the following three directions for future research: (1) Weight determination methods based on machine learning or deep learning models, and reasonable weight allocation by mixing multiple evaluation methods. (2) Setting dynamic evaluation indicators, strengthening interdisciplinary research and regional consideration, and introducing a life cycle assessment to solve the problem of setting indicators in the existing evaluation system. (3) Combine building information modeling with GBRS to realize the automation and intelligence of evaluation and improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of evaluation. Full article

Interplay between the outer steel tubes and the core concrete provides an important guarantee for the superior performance of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns compared to that of reinforced concrete columns. In order to optimize the construction of the large-size non-studded CFST columns in an on-going practical project, the strain distributions in the column under construction were measured and tracked, and the law of the strain distributions of the column under construction is revealed. The study finds that the plane section assumption was not applicable to the strain distributions of the column. Nonlinear variations in the strain levels were observed under bi-directional bending of the column. The absence of studs inside the steel tube significantly weakened the interplay of the outer steel tube and the core concrete by means of a significant slip between the concrete and the steel tube at the column corners. The concrete and the steel tube tended to be stressed and deformed independently. Practical suggestions are given for the design and construction of this type of column. The study results are expected to lay a basic and valuable foundation for in-depth investigations on the mechanical behavior of large-size non-studded concrete-filled steel tube columns under construction.
