Annex A of EN 1992-1-1:2023—recently revised and amended in the context of the Second Generation of Eurocodes—introduces a method to adjust partial safety factors for the resistance side alongside a set of factors for different conditions...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are essential for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and grid storage, but their rapidly increasing demand is paralleled by growing waste volumes. Current disposal methods remain costly, complex, energy-intensive, a...

Construction on soft, highly compressible soils increasingly requires reliable ground improvement solutions. Among these, Rigid Inclusions (RIs) have emerged as one of the most efficient soil-reinforcement techniques. This paper synthesizes evidence...

This paper presents a quantitative framework for assessing and managing public-safety risks around dams. The framework integrates a hazard–event–objective–control structure with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to transform qual...

Base isolation is known as a useful and popular technique for seismic upgrading of reinforced concrete buildings. Predicting damage levels based on relative inter-story drift plays an important role for designing optimal base isolation systems. Howev...

The construction industry significantly contributes to global sustainability challenges, producing 30–40 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions and consuming large amounts of natural resources. Pervious concrete has emerged as a sustainable...

This study examines the use of electronic waste (e-waste) as an alternative material in concrete for sustainability and natural resource conservation. Various e-wastes, such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP), Glass Fiber-Rei...

The growing demand for sustainable pavement materials has driven increased interest in asphalt mixtures incorporating recycled crumb rubber (CR). While CR modification enhances mechanical performance and durability, its often increases initial produc...
