To investigate the initial rotational stiffness and ultimate moment of fully bolted connections in panelized steel modular structures, a finite element analysis was carried out on 20 joint models. High-fidelity models were developed using ABAQUS, and...

Risk identification is a foundational process in construction project management, yet the selection of appropriate identification techniques often lacks empirical guidance. To address this gap, this study adopts a case study design and conducts a com...

This study investigates the static mechanical behavior of a novel eco-friendly high-performance concrete (HPC) reinforced with fibers under different moisture conditions, reflecting the humidity variations commonly encountered in engineering practice...

Underground power pipelines are often encased in box culverts and buried in soil. When foundation pit excavation involves such existing pipelines, the buried box culverts can become partially suspended, risking excessive vertical deformation and requ...

The proliferation of tunnel and subway networks in urban areas has heightened concerns regarding their vulnerability to seismic-induced liquefaction. This phenomenon, wherein saturated sandy soils lose strength and behave like a liquid under seismic...

Cost is a key performance indicator for evaluating the success of architectural construction projects. While previous studies have relied on quantitative data and statistical models to evaluate cost performance, recent advancements in methods have en...

Rapid population aging calls for a shift from static facility configuration toward understanding how spatial structures coordinate with everyday behavior. This study develops a structure–behavior coordination framework to examine how the spatia...

Multi-story buildings in seismic regions are susceptible to earthquake-induced damage; however, the direct correlation between observed damage patterns and underlying failure mechanisms remains insufficiently understood. The Ms6.8 Luding earthquake,...

Integrated seismic–environmental retrofit is gaining attention in research and practice, as it combines resilience and sustainability objectives in building retrofits. However, current research and practice remain fragmented. This paper presents a sy...

With the intensification of global aging, a comfortable indoor environment is crucial for the well-being of the elderly. However, research on the thermal effect of solar radiation, i.e., infrared radiation, remains scarce. This study innovatively use...
