The spatial variation characteristics of near-fault velocity pulses lack in-depth understanding, and it is difficult to consider this feature in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and the ground motion input for structural seismic analysis. Based...

Historical mosques are some of the most valuable structures in Islamic societies. It is of primary importance to protect these structures and ensure their safe transmission to future generations. This study investigates the adequacy of the buttress s...

In the context of sustainable construction, recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs), including both fine and coarse fractions derived from construction and demolition waste (CDW), are gaining traction due to their potential to mitigate environmental impa...

In the construction industry, safety is of paramount importance given the complex and dynamic nature of construction sites, which are prone to various hazards, like falls from heights, being hit by falling objects, and structural collapses. Tradition...

The construction of residential buildings and structures is a complex process in which the economic component plays a key role. It is essential to maintain a balance between saving construction materials and the costs of additional engineering soluti...

Activity-on-arc (AoA) and activity-on-node (AoN) project network representations have been used in construction scheduling for many decades. But due to the primary information that they emphasize—the activities themselves in the AoA graphs, and...

Inefficient stock space use in urban and rural areas causes economic losses and environmental harm, needing better solutions. Currently, this field is constrained by a relatively underdeveloped research history, which has led to the lack of a compreh...

Frame–masonry hybrid structures, though economically practical and widespread in rural China, face significant collapse risks during earthquakes due to shear imbalances from a component mismatch. A severe case was No. 7, Group 1, Detuo Town, af...

With the development of the economy and improvements in living standards, public demand for sports activities has continued to increase. However, the supply–demand relationship of urban sports venues remains unbalanced in many cities. Existing...

To investigate the strengthening effectiveness of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites on shield tunnel segments, this study conducted four-point bending tests on FRCM composite panels. The influence of different cementitious matri...
