Composite box girders with corrugated steel webs (CBGCWs) have attracted increasing attention in bridge engineering. However, the shear lag effect has an impact on the mechanical behavior of thin-walled box girders and the impact of transverse deform...

Based on the upper bound limit analysis, the multi-log spiral failure mechanism for earth retaining structures under horizontal seismic loads was constructed, which could introduce the nonlinear strength criterion into stability analysis without any...

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional Portland cement, yet their rheological properties, particularly in concrete mixtures, remain largely underexplored. This study conducted rheological tests to investiga...

Glazed tiles are a quintessential ceramic creation applied in architectural systems, with Chinese pagodas serving as emblematic symbols that embody the design philosophy and diverse cultural beliefs of construction. Despite enduring wars, extreme wea...

To address the severe damage caused by voids beneath cement concrete pavement slabs, which compromise pavement performance and lifespan, there is an urgent need to develop an economical and efficient grouting material for slab void repair. This study...

This study evaluates the impact of building orientation, typology, and envelope characteristics on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions in urban dwellings in subtropical climate, with a focus on Cartagena, Colombia. North-facing dwellings consistently...

The exponential increase in population has led to a shortage of land for constructing tall buildings, resulting in the need to design irregular structures due to the limited availability of land. Assessing the impact of wind-generated effects can be...

With the widespread construction of the subway in the Chinese mainland, the environmental vibration caused by subway operation has attracted increasing attention. Train-induced environmental vibrations can cause structural deformation, uneven settlem...

FRP (fiber-reinforced composite) is generally regarded as the repair and enhancement material for existing concrete structures in extreme service environments such as high temperatures or fire exposure. In order to reveal the effect of high temperatu...

In order to explore the influence of different layer treatment methods on the macro- and meso-mechanical properties of cemented sand and gravel (CSG), in this paper, the shear behavior of CSG material was simulated by a three-dimensional particle flo...
