Wolf Rock Lighthouse is a Victorian era masonry structure located in an extreme environment facing the fiercest Atlantic storms off the southwest coast of England whose dynamic behaviour has been studied since 2016. Initially, a modal test was used t...

Public–private partnership (PPP) is a prominent tool for sustainable infrastructure development. However, the positive contributions of PPPs toward the attainment of sustainable, climate resilience and zero-carbon infrastructure projects are ha...

Exploring the integration of 5D Building Information Modeling (BIM) within the Norwegian construction sector, this study examines its transformative impact on cost estimation and project management, highlighting technological and skill-based adoption...

While crack detection is crucial for maintaining concrete structures, existing methods often overlook the analysis of large cracks that span multiple images. Such analyses typically rely on image stitching to create a complete image of a crack. Curre...

This study intended to measure the efficiency of different strengthening techniques to advance the flexural characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) beams using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates, including externally bonded reinforce...

The objective of this research is to propose a public transport reorganization system that allows the improvement of urban vehicle flow. The lack of adequate transportation infrastructure and the existing disorder in the services provided by collecti...

Railway scene understanding is crucial for various applications, including autonomous trains, digital twining, and infrastructure change monitoring. However, the development of the latter is constrained by the lack of annotated datasets and limitatio...

This paper outlines an initial analysis of 20 years of data held on an electronic bridge management database for approximately 3500 arch bridges across Northern Ireland (NI) by the Department for Infrastructure. Arch bridges represent the largest gro...

This study undertakes a comprehensive experimental and numerical analysis of the structural integrity of buried RC sewerage pipes, focusing on the performance of two distinct jointing materials: cement mortar and non-shrinkage grout. Through joint sh...

Pervious concrete has great potential for use in many practical applications as a part of urban facilities that can add value through water harvesting and mitigating severe damage from floods. The construction and agricultural industries can take dir...

This paper presents comprehensive empirical equations to predict the shear strength capacity of reinforced concrete deep beams, with a focus on improving the accuracy of existing codes. Analyzing 198 deep beams imported from 15 existing investigation...

The tunnel boring method (TBM) is a widely used and effective tunneling technology in various rock mass quality circumstances. A “faulted rock mass” can range from a highly fractured rock mass to a sheared weak rock mass, making the groun...

In the last decade, various asphalt paving materials have undergone investigation for sound attenuation purposes. This research aims to delve into the innovative design of sustainable road pavements by examining sound absorption in rubber-modified as...

The theoretical and practical studies of the cyclic loads resulting from the movement and passage of trains on the unsaturated subgrade to determine the effect of the degree of saturation and moisture content on the foundations and infrastructure of...
