A fresh paradigm for classifying current studies on flood management systems is proposed in this review. The literature has examined methods for managing different flood management activities from a variety of fields, such as machine learning, image...

Polystyrene is renowned for its excellent thermal insulation due to its closed-cell structure that traps air and reduces heat conduction. This study aims to develop sustainable, energy-efficient building materials by enhancing the thermal and mechani...

Styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt is widely used in the field of road construction because it helps asphalt pavements achieve good road performance. However, SBS-modified asphalt has problems of poor compatibility, leading...

The ever-increasing material performance requirements in modern engineering structures have thrust engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) into the limelight of civil engineering research. The exceptional tensile, bending, and crack-control abiliti...

We develop a new analytical and numerical approach, based on existing models, to describe the onset of lateral–torsional buckling (LTB) for simply supported thin-walled steel members. The profiles have uniform I cross-sections with variable len...

The aim of this work is to analyse the quality and transparency of data on the additional costs of public works. The problem identified is the lack of detailed and accessible information that allows for an adequate analysis of the performance and fin...

This study addresses critical risk factors in high-voltage power transmission line (HVPTL) construction projects, which are vital components of national energy infrastructure. HVPTL projects are essential for meeting energy needs but are often plague...

This research used the SWARA approach to analyze risk assessment criteria for public–private partnership (PPP) projects in Iran’s water and sewage sectors to identify and prioritize the most significant elements influencing project succes...

Fragility curves are fundamental tools in seismic risk assessments, providing insights into the vulnerability of structures to earthquake-induced damages. These curves, which plot the probability of a structure reaching or exceeding various damage st...

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds significant potential for revolutionizing the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry by automating complex tasks such as construction scheduling, hazard recognition, resource leveling,...

This study proposes a novel framework for determining variables’ weights in transportation assets condition indices calculations using statistical and machine learning techniques. The methodology leverages subjective ratings alongside objective...

Concrete columns with hollow-core sections find widespread application owing to their excellent structural efficiency and efficient material utilization. However, corrosion poses a challenge in concrete buildings with steel reinforcement. This paper...

The increase in cement production has had a noteworthy impact on the emission of greenhouse gases. As a result, it is essential to develop geopolymer concrete innovations to mitigate the environmental consequences. However, conventional geopolymer co...

To understand changes in bedrock motion at the ground surface, frequency effects, and spatial distribution within the soil, it is important to look at how a site responds to earthquakes. This is important for soil–structure interaction in struc...

Sandstone has poor mechanical properties. To facilitate the application of sandstone into asphalt mixtures, sandstone was treated by immersion in sodium silicate solution, and the dynamic modulus after reinforcement was used as a criterion. The resul...

This research, with its potential to revolutionise the construction industry, aims to develop quaternary-blended composites (QBC) by replacing 80% of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with metakaolin, rice husk ash, and wood ash combined with discrete h...

The asphalt industry has long been challenged with finding sustainable solutions to enhance the performance of asphalt mixtures while mitigating their environmental impact. One promising avenue is the incorporation of waste filler materials into asph...
