This paper introduces a novel 3D simulation framework that integrates the Pipe-in-Pipe (PiP) model with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL). This framework is designed to incorporate a 3D building model directl...

Bridges play an increasingly indispensable role in endorsing the economic and social development of societies by linking highways and facilitating the mobility of people and goods. Concurrently, they are susceptible to high traffic volumes and an int...

The Wanning Bridge is a critical component of Beijing’s Central Axis World Heritage site and the only Yuan Dynasty heritage bridge in Beijing still in service. Investigating its structural response under complex traffic conditions is therefore...

This study investigates the utilization of phosphogypsum (PG), an industrial byproduct, as a sustainable additive in reinforced truss concrete slabs to promote eco-friendly construction practices. Through static loading tests (monotonic/cyclic) under...

Navigating and planning optimal paths for resource delivery algorithms poses significant physical and technical challenges in urban areas, primarily due to the limitations of existing infrastructure. As smart cities continue to develop, the importanc...

Many agencies use pavement condition assessments such as the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to develop localized pavement management programs. However, both techniques involve some subjectivity and i...

Urban footbridges are critical infrastructure increasingly challenged by vibration issues induced by crowd activity. Real-time monitoring of pedestrian dynamics is essential for evaluating structural safety, ensuring pedestrian comfort, and enabling...

Escalating extreme wildfires, fueled by the confluence of climate change, land use patterns alterations, ignitions by humans, and flammable fuels accumulation, pose significant and increasingly destructive risks to critical infrastructure (CI). This...

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has greater strength and durability compared to traditional concrete. While these benefits are well established, there are differences in UHPC based on the constituent materials in the mixture. These variations...

Asphalt fume emissions cause significant environmental hazards during the preparation of hot-mix asphalt. In this study, experimental investigations were conducted employing a reactor vessel to simulate asphalt fumes under controlled conditions. Asph...
