The Belt and Road Initiative’s infrastructure development faces significant challenges in understanding and addressing the divergent perceptions between urban and rural populations, particularly regarding high-speed rail projects. This study in...

Pavement materials like hot mix asphalt (HMA) and cold recycled mixes (CRMs) are typically considered isotropic. This study evaluates the anisotropy of a cold in-place recycled (CIR) material using the shear wave velocity (Vs) parameter. The piezoele...

Traffic signal control plays a pivotal role in intelligent transportation systems, directly affecting urban mobility, congestion mitigation, and environmental sustainability. As traffic networks become more dynamic and complex, traditional strategies...

To implement the “Green Transition” in civil engineering, this study provides a new critical perspective analyzing the sustainability measures adopted by two European megaprojects. Government regulations and legislation, reward mechanism,...

Optimizing last-mile delivery operations is an essential component in making a modern city livable, particularly in the face of rapid urbanization, increasing e-commerce activity, and the growing demand for fast deliveries. These factors contribute s...

Roads are critical infrastructure in multi-sectoral development. Any country that aims to expand and stabilize its activities must have a network of paved roads in good condition. However, that is not the case in many countries. The usual methods of...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) exhibits promising thermochemical properties when used as an asphalt binder modifier. Its micrometric size further enhances its potential as a substitute for natural fillers (NFs) in hot-mix asphalt (HMA). This study evaluates the ef...

Transition zones are located at points on a track where there has been a change in the main composition of the railway infrastructure; as such, there are many sections that undergo a sudden change in the stiffness of the structures built. When trains...

Bayesian structural model updating (SMU) is among the most powerful methods for estimating the bending stiffness and modal damping of high-speed railway (HSR) bridges and predicting their bridge-response-based resonance responses. Although studies in...

Crumb rubber (CR) obtained from end-of-life tyres (ELT) has gained significant attention in the sustainable design of asphalt pavements in recent years, showing a promising perspective in the enhancement of pavement performance related to its structu...
