Compared to road trucks, the use of trains to move goods along railway lines is a more sustainable freight transport system. In Norway, where several main lines are single tracks, the insufficient length of many of the existing passing loops consider...

The paper deals with the issue of obtaining iron-sulfur-containing binders through their mechanochemical treatment using mutual neutralization and detoxification structure formation, and the curing stage of arbolite concrete composites based on indus...

Rural road programs are essential for enhancing connectivity in remote areas, yet they frequently encounter schedule delays and budget overruns. This study explores the extent to which specific project characteristics influence these deviations in Co...

Corrosion is a critical issue in civil structures, significantly affecting their durability and functionality. Detecting corrosion at an early stage is essential to prevent structural failures and ensure safety. This study proposes an expert system b...

This study proposes a Fabry–Perot interferometric system and an associated evaluation method for measuring the weight of moving trains. An optical fiber sensor, comprising a sensing fiber and a supporting structure, is securely bonded to the ra...

A new concept of a 3D volumetric module, made up of six plane stiffened self-compacting fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) panels, is here studied. Experimental campaigns are carried out on SFRC material and on the thin-slab structures used for this mo...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and safety of critical infrastructure and mechanical components. While traditional non-destructive testing (NDT) methods offer high-resolution data, they typically requ...

The use of both structural steel and reinforced concrete is common in civil and military infrastructure projects. Anchorage plays a crucial role in these systems, serving as the key element that connects structural components and secures attachments...

The curing process of a concrete sample has a significant influence on hydration and its strength. This means that inadequate curing conditions lead to a loss of concrete quality and negative consequences in structural engineering. In addition, diffe...

With the rapid expansion of railway networks and increasing operational complexity, intelligent rail damage detection has become crucial for ensuring safety and improving maintenance efficiency. Traditional physical inspection methods (e.g., ultrason...
