To ensure the stability of deep foundation pits in confined aquifers, dewatering is often required. However, pumping from confined aquifers in large deep foundation pit groups may lead to significant environmental deformations. Therefore, field pumpi...

This study investigates the issues of non-unique model configurations and insufficient guidance for reinforcement design encountered when applying the strut-and-tie model (STM) method to reinforced concrete deep beams with openings. Using concrete de...

The transportation of construction waste involves various complexities, including logistics, monitoring, and resource management. Nevertheless, conventional transportation methods struggle to meet the combined requirements of environmental sustainabi...

This study explores the use of solar chimneys to harness solar radiation, generating a chimney effect that promotes natural ventilation in buildings. However, the performance of double-channel solar chimneys is heavily influenced by their installatio...

In order to investigate the mechanical behavior of a novel pre-tensioned polygonal prestressed T-beam subject to combined bending, shear, and torsion, this study meticulously designed and fabricated a full-scale specimen with a calculated span of 28....

To reduce the cast in place work of concrete and realize the industrial production of a bamboo–concrete composite (BCC), innovative connection systems composed of an assembled bamboo–lightweight concrete composite (ABLCC) structure featur...

This study proposes replacing traditional single-value urban development intensity control with an elastic interval-based approach to address urban development challenges under population shrinkage. It constructs a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) assignment f...

Residential street lighting plays a crucial role in enhancing the reassurance for pedestrians returning home late at night. However, street lighting is sometimes recommended and required to be kept at lower levels at night, due to problems such as li...

This article takes alluvial silty sand in the alluvial plain area as the research object. Through a combination of theoretical analysis, finite element simulation, and on-site testing, the engineering characteristics of alluvial silty sand under traf...

This study introduces a Bayesian model updating approach for analyzing the long-term performance of steel–concrete composite beams (SCBs). Two nominally identical SCBs (SCB-1 and SCB-2) were designed, fabricated, and subjected to modal testing....
