Urban metro systems (UMSs) primarily consist of underground structures and are therefore highly susceptible to disasters, such as rainstorms and waterlogging. The damages caused by such events are often substantial and difficult to recover from, high...

Dredged silt, characterized by high moisture content, low shear strength, and poor permeability, presents significant challenges for direct engineering application, leading to excessive land occupation and unsustainable resource management. To addres...

Extensive green roofs (EGRs) are recognized as a promising passive cooling strategy due to their low areal mass, yet their thermal performance is strongly influenced by water availability. While prior studies have focused primarily on continuous irri...

To improve the mechanical properties and durability of concrete made with recycled fiber-reinforced tailings aggregate, the influence of metakaolin (MK) content on its properties was studied. Freeze–thaw cycle tests and sulfate freeze–tha...

The transport of chloride ions in concrete is often affected by electric fields, and its concentration distribution is generally evaluated using the Nernst–Planck equation. The Nernst–Planck theory can only effectively predict the mass el...

As heritage cognition evolves, aligning conceptual understanding with conservation strategies becomes essential for effective practice. This study develops the Heritage Cognition–Conservation Paradigm Correspondence Framework, a methodological...

Persistent cost overruns, schedule delays, and weak control mechanisms continue to hinder construction project delivery in Saudi Arabia, where 64% of projects exceeded their planned time and 53% experienced cost overruns. Although project control sys...

To align with the development trends of green construction and industrialized building, prefabricated assembly technology has been widely applied in highway tunnel lining structures. However, when used in large-section highway tunnels, this technolog...

With the advancement of building industrialization and sustainable development, modular demountable buildings, as an efficient and environmentally friendly form, show significant potential in scenarios such as emergency housing and rural construction...

The durability and safety of modern concrete architecture and infrastructure are critically impacted by early-stage surface cracks. Timely and appropriate identification and management of these cracks are therefore essential to enhance structural lon...
