The tensile strength of stabilized clayey soil is a key indicator of its resistance to cracking and directly governs its performance when used as subgrade fill. In this study, ordinary Portland cement and polyacrylate-based super-absorbent polymers (...

Heritage conservation and environmental protection have similarities, both aiming at conserving structures and systems in their original state. While environmental protection prioritizes intact ecosystems, heritage conservation values past cultural a...

This paper systematically reviews bridge structural dynamics and pier damage mechanisms under seismic excitation over recent decades, addressing four key aspects: (1) the structural response of simply supported bridges subjected to horizontal seismic...

In the construction of ultra-high voltage (UHV) transformation substations, mass concrete is highly susceptible to temperature-induced cracking due to thermal gradients arising from the disparity between internal hydration heat and external environme...

This article interrogates the theoretical articulations of the body–space nexus through the formulation of an alternative methodological framework. It advances the premise that body and space cannot be reduced to physical parameters or represen...

The flow mechanism around a yawed cylinder is highly complex. While previous research has confirmed the limitation of the Independence Principle at high yaw angles, the specific flow phenomena beyond 20° yaw remain poorly understood, particularly...

The urban street environment strongly influences pedestrian satisfaction, with visual perception elements playing a pivotal role. Historic districts serve not only as carriers of urban culture but also as key tourism resources, where spatial quality...

Seismic design of reinforced concrete buildings in highly active seismic regions is challenging, as structural members are often oversized due to conservative design practices, leading to inefficient use of materials. This study proposes an optimizat...

Accurate prediction of the bearing capacity of foundations near slopes remains challenging when soils exhibit heterogeneity and anisotropy. Although numerical simulations can account for these effects with high precision, they are computationally dem...

To advance the application of prefabricated structures, this study proposes a novel sleeve connection for reinforced concrete coupling beams, aiming to balance the construction efficiency with seismic performance in prefabricated structures. Quasi-st...
