Proper road network maintenance is essential for ensuring safety, reducing transportation costs, and improving fuel efficiency. Traditional pavement condition assessments rely on specialized equipment, limiting the frequency and scope of inspections...

Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) beams have shown their flexural effectiveness in terms of stiffness, strength, and ductility. On the other hand, composite bridge girders demand durable and ductile girders to serve as tension members, while the conc...

Climate change significantly impacts transportation infrastructure, particularly asphalt pavements. Similarly, the heat absorption of paved surfaces, especially conventional black pavements, significantly intensifies the urban microclimate. Paved sur...

This research work aims to compare the strength and fracture mechanics properties of plain concretes, obtained from different coarse aggregates. During the study, mechanical parameters including compressive strength (f_cm) and splitting tensile streng...

Effective traffic management is crucial in addressing the growing complexities of urban mobility, and variable message signs (VMSs) play a vital role in delivering real-time information to road users. Despite their widespread application, there is li...

Because of their improved properties, FRP composites are vastly used in the strengthening of aged concrete infrastructures. However, it has been observed that their performance is highly compromised when exposed to high temperatures, as expected duri...

The increasing frequency and severity of climate variability poses substantial challenges to the sustainability and reliability of transportation infrastructure worldwide. Transportation systems, vital to economic and social activities, are highly vu...

This paper explores advanced machine learning approaches to enhance the prediction accuracy of compressive strength (CoS) in geopolymer composites (GePC). Geopolymers, as sustainable alternatives to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), offer significant e...

This article investigates the challenges of maintaining the Machico Cable-Stayed Bridge in a marine environment, focusing on its implications for urban mobility. The primary problem addressed is the impact of harsh marine conditions on the structural...

Trail pavement roughness significantly impacts user experience and safety. Measuring roughness over large areas using traditional equipment is challenging and expensive. The utilization of smartphones and bicycles offers a more feasible approach to m...

This study explores the influence of different concentrations of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on the fresh and hardened properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in order to assess the structural suitability of the use of RCA in a precast...

In this paper, a discussion on the applicability and limitations of the limit equilibrium method is presented. In this manner, the reliability of a concrete arch dam-foundation system under static loading is evaluated by considering a set of potentia...

In railway stations, queues often form in front of the ticketing booths that provide ticketing services. Proper design of service systems is key to effectively managing these queues, as waiting time is a critical factor affecting customer satisfactio...

This study investigates the impact of the attitudes of the elderly on the acceptance of Thailand’s high-speed rail technology according to the technology readiness index (TRI) and technology acceptance model (TAM) theories as guidelines for pol...

Moisture-induced damage is a serious problem that severely impairs asphaltic pavement and affects road serviceability. This study examined numerous variables in asphalt concrete mixtures to assess their impact on moisture damage resistance. Mix desig...

Pentamodes are lattice structures composed of beams. Their main property is the low ratio of the shear to bulk modulus, making them suitable for aerospace, antiseismic, and bioengineering applications. At first, in our study, pentamode structures wer...

With the rise in construction costs and aging of existing concrete structures, retrofitting and strengthening have gained more popularity. Among all of the available techniques, adding new repairing layers on top of old concrete ones has proven to be...

This study presents a novel, machine-learning-based Automatic Incident Detection (AID) system for freeways. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing AID systems, the paper identifies their limitations and key performance metrics. VISSIM, a traffi...

Construction steel has widely been used worldwide for developing infrastructure, e [...]

Monitoring natural slopes, embankments, and unstable slopes is crucial to reducing predisposition to mass movements, especially in areas with geotechnical instability and high rainfall. This study proposes a methodology to identify geotechnical and p...

Predicting the International Roughness Index (IRI) is crucial for maintaining road quality and ensuring the safety and comfort of road users. Accurate IRI predictions help in the timely identification of road sections that require maintenance, thus p...
