Energy-dissipating braces are novel structural components as they not only accommodate the seismic energy demand but also enhance both the flexibility and overall earthquake resistance of the structure, preventing brittle or non-ductile behavior. The...
The cement industry significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions, making material efficiency in concrete structures a crucial sustainability goal. This study addresses the challenge of excessive cement usage in traditional concrete design by opt...
This article presented a method for grading and visualising corrosion in steel pedestrian bridges using Building Information Modelling (BIM). Traditional inspection methods are often manual and subjective, which reduces their reliability and repeatab...
Given the apparent gap between scientific research and engineering practice, this paper tracks the dominating perspectives that have shaped the growth of hydrological research. Based on five eras, dominated with specific paradigms and/or ideologies,...
The structural performance of mid-rise buildings with a soft first story is a critical issue in earthquake-prone regions. This paper presents a detailed assessment of both the seismic performance and the structural reliability of a confined masonry m...
The increasing integration of Chinese-engineered infrastructure in Pakistan under the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) necessitates a comparative evaluation of seismic resilience between the Chinese and Pakistani building codes. This stu...
This study presents an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional energy-intensive methods for soil improvement by investigating an enzyme-induced active magnesium oxide carbonation (EIMC) technique for the stabilization of gravelly soil. T...
It is undeniable that digital technology enables, e.g., building information modelling, digital twins, extended reality (i.e., virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality), and automation, have recently played a significant role in the construc...
This paper analyzes the physics of the TMD-Inerter for harmonic vibrations. The basic TMD-Inerter layout is assumed, where the inerter is installed between the TMD mass and the structural mass. For harmonic vibrations, the inerter force can be formul...
Within the scope of this article is the presentation of a modelling and measurement approach for the effects of roof greenings and the application of the approach to evaluate the influence of roof greenings upon the thermal conditions inside a typica...
Traditional construction logistics rely on manual processes and fragmented tools, leading to inefficient planning, poor communication, and disorganized supply chains. Despite advances in digitalization, there is a lack of integrated, data-driven appr...
The incorporation of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) materials marks a significant advancement in the adoption of sustainable and high-performance technologies in structural engineering. This study investigates the flexural behavior of four-me...
UHPC has been found to have excellent freeze–thaw durability in cold regions. Previous UHPC testing performed has mostly focused on concrete with compressive strength above 21 ksi (145 MPa). In this study, testing was conducted to determine at...
This study presented a comprehensive finite element (FE) investigation into the flexural behavior of RC T-beams strengthened in the negative moment region using near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) rods. A three-dimensio...
Riverbank erosion in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) poses a serious threat to agricultural lands, infrastructure, and local communities. Conventional protective measures, such as synthetic geotextiles and concrete revetments, are often costly and...
This study presents the design and performance assessment of suction anchor foundations for an integrated offshore wind–solar–aquaculture system located in Jiangsu Sheyang, China. The project represents one of the first practical demonstr...
Explosions, including those from war weapons, terrorist attacks, etc., can lead to damage and overall collapse of bridges. However, there are no clear guidelines for anti-blast design and protective measures for bridges under blast loading in current...
