Reinforced soil retaining walls (RSWs) for railways are key subgrade structures that bear cyclic loads from trains, and their long-term durability directly affects railway operation safety. The mechanical behavior of RSWs under cyclic loading has bee...

The rapid expansion of metro systems has exacerbated lighting-related issues, including uneven illuminance, glare, and blind spots. These issues compromise passenger visual comfort and perceived safety. Previous research has predominantly focused on...

The concrete pouring process is difficult to observe inside formwork. With increasingly complex formwork systems and denser reinforcement layouts, honeycomb defects and surface pores are prone to form at beam–column joint core locations. The mo...

Enhancing interlayer bond strength remains a critical challenge in the extrusion-based 3D printing of cementitious materials. This study investigates the optimisation of interlayer bond strength in extrusion-based 3D-printed cementitious materials th...

Research Objective: This study analyzes the budget quotas and sample cases of traffic engineering and landscaping projects to address the following issues: low accuracy and inability to reflect the cost levels of enterprises in the existing cost esti...

For the purpose of ensuring the construction safety of tunnel excavation, it is necessary to adopt a suitable pre-support technology to reinforce the surrounding rock. The pipe roof reinforcement method and the leading ductule method are the most com...

This study focuses on the performance evolution of Engineering Geopolymer Composites (EGCs) in long-term thermal environments, investigating the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of alkali-activated fly ash–slag composites und...

Joint connections are critical to the overall performance of prefabricated structures. This paper proposes a novel reverse-rotation locking sleeve connection method, designed to ensure the safety of joint engineering while optimizing construction pro...

Building Energy Modelling (BEM) practitioners play a crucial role in delivering energy-efficient buildings by analysing building performance using simulation tools. However, their experiences while using BEM software to predict building energy perfor...

This study investigates the shear behavior of double-skin truss-reinforced composite shear walls through finite element analysis validated by published tests. Parametric studies reveal that the shear strength increases with the axial compression rati...
