This article presents the fundamentals of an analytical method for determining the stress–strain state of a railway subgrade reinforced with geosynthetic material. The reinforcement described is a combined system where the geosynthetic material...
Urban air mobility (UAM) has recently emerged as a promising new transportation mode, with various potential use cases. Facility location problems are well studied and of significant importance for various transportation modes. This work introduces a...
Uncertainties in traffic flows pose significant challenges for the accurate fatigue safety assessment of bridge structures. Fatigue analysis requires detailed information on heavy vehicle-induced loads, which can be obtained from weigh-in-motion (WIM...
This study explores the implementation and impact of autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, particularly in developing countries. While AVs promise enhanced road safety by reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities, their adoption faces significant challen...
Load rating, using nominated rating vehicles by individual road authorities, is described in the Australian standard for bridge assessment, AS 5100.7, for all load effects, including shear. The load rating can be used to indicate the strength conditi...
This pilot study investigated whether good and bad access to waterbodies and parks have different impacts on walking and cycling in neighborhoods in urban areas. Focusing on Paris, France, the neighborhoods were classified based on their access to th...
The increasing penetration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) presents new challenges and opportunities for road safety. This study aims to evaluate the impact of AV penetration rates on traffic safety through the use of microscopic simulation scenarios ba...
Since the Fourth Industrial Revolution was announced in 2015, relevant key technologies have recently merged and have extensively affected our society. To provide empirical insights into the future and address expected issues in the context of transp...
Landslides are a common occurrence that results in both human and financial losses each year around the world. The conventional methods use a variety of techniques, such as the application of lime, cement, and fly ash, for slope stabilization. Nevert...
The structural integrity of concrete arch dams is critical to ensuring their long-term stability and safety, particularly under seasonal thermal variations. In this study, the effect of contraction and construction joint quality on the static perform...

In the current paper, the dynamic mechanical properties of sustainable lightweight aggregate concrete (SLAC) were numerically studied with a newly developed mesoscopic model. In the model, a fissure-based filling method was utilized for placing spher...
Transfer learning techniques for structural health monitoring in bridge-type structures are investigated, focusing on model generalizability and domain adaptation challenges. Finite element models of bridge-type structures with varying geometry were...
This study investigates the impact of an innovative mineral additive, ICRETE, on steel-reinforced concrete’s compressive strength and corrosion resistance. Nineteen concrete mixes were designed incorporating recycled industrial by-products, inc...
Concrete columns are considered critical elements with respect to the stability of buildings during earthquakes. To improve the accuracy of column damage and collapse risk estimates using numerical simulations, it is important to develop a methodolog...
As climate change intensifies, roadway infrastructure is increasingly at risk from extreme weather events including floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. This paper presents a system-of-systems performance-based asset risk management approach, designed...
This study explores the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on structural health monitoring (SHM), a critical aspect of infrastructure maintenance and safety. This study begins with a bibliometric analysis to identify current research t...
The depletion of petroleum reserves and increasing environmental concerns have driven the development of eco-friendly asphalt binders. This research investigates the performance of natural asphalt (NA) modified with waste engine oil (WEO) as a sustai...
The global rise in vehicle ownership has led to a significant accumulation of waste tires, with many ending up in landfills or incinerated, resulting in considerable environmental impacts. Several end-of-life solutions have been developed to repurpos...
Speeding is one of the main contributing factors to road crashes and their severity; therefore, this study aims to investigate the complex dynamics of speeding and uses a multivariable analysis framework to explore the diverse factors contributing to...
Traditional forecasting models for bridge conditions, such as ARIMA and Markov chains, often fail to adequately capture nonlinear and dynamic relationships among critical variables like age, traffic patterns, and environmental factors, leading to sub...
Facility maintenance requires thorough inspections throughout a facility’s lifecycle to ensure structural integrity and longevity. A significant challenge lies in managing the semantic relationships between various inspection data across differ...
On 6 February 2023, two very large destructive earthquakes occurred in the East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ), one of Türkiye’s primary tectonic members. The fact that these earthquakes occurred on the same day and in the same region increas...
In this research, we harmonize the two mobility approaches, stationary and mobile measurements, within the same framework to generate comparison opportunities, particularly in terms of identified bridge modal frequencies. Vibration tests were conduct...
This study explores the potential of a composite binder comprising cement bypass dust (CBD) and spent fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalyst for sustainable pavement base stabilization. Various CBD/FCC ratios (30:70, 50:50, 70:30) and binder content...
Eco-friendly road infrastructure is vital for the advancement of sustainable transportation and promotion of efficient urban mobility. This systematic literature review explores the current state of research and development in the eco-friendly road i...
According to statistics from the World Health Organization, traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of death among children and young people, and statistical indicators are even worse for the elderly population. Preventive measures require an...
The rising population and demand for plastic materials lead to increasing plastic waste (PW) annually, much of which is sent to landfills without adequate recycling, posing serious environmental risks globally. PWs are grinded to smaller sizes and us...
