The decarbonization of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation (AECO) sector has increased the need to incorporate carbon metrics into design decision-making. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), based on the...
This study presents the nonlinear seismic analysis of a large-scale suspension bridge under multiple sequential earthquake records. A detailed 3D finite element model is developed in SAP2000, incorporating CFST pylons, a composite deck, and a main ca...
High rock temperature (HRT) and its associated thermal hazards, alongside secondary mechanical risks such as swelling pressures induced in clay layers, pose severe threats to the construction safety of deep-buried tunnels. This study aims to quantita...
Localized water infiltration in rock masses can significantly compromise the stability of foundations and underground structures. Conventional assessments often rely on average water content, while overlooking the spatial heterogeneity of water distr...

Hemp–lime composites are bio-based building materials with carbon sequestration potential, yet their properties exhibit significant variability depending on manufacturing variables, and standardized production guidelines remain lacking. This st...
Fault-crossing ground motions, characterized by velocity pulses, permanent fault dis-placement, and non-uniform support excitation associated with fault rupture, may significantly affect the seismic performance of siphon bridges crossing active fault...
Factors such as asset aging, climate change affecting hydrological events, and the growing demand in electricity are placing huge pressure on hydroelectric infrastructure—in particular, hydroelectric dams, whose most important and critical comp...
The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of water-soluble epoxy resin (ER) in regard to stabilising clay soils, specifically for the design of column-type reinforcement in soft ground. An extensive laboratory program was conducted to ass...
In various countries, the shear-strength design formulas for reinforced concrete beam–column joints are primarily constructed based on concrete strength, and the influence of the main bars of the beam is not explicitly reflected in these expres...
Traditional road geometric design is based on assumptions regarding human perception and reaction, which directly influences Stopping Sight Distance (SSD) and the associated design parameters of vertical curves. Under a future scenario of full autono...
The methodology described in Eurocode 8, Part 4, for calculating seismic effects on vertical cylindrical rigid and fixed steel storage tanks is programmed in MATLAB®. The walls of the tanks are constructed of shell courses with varying thicknesse...
Despite the growing use of tessellated and patterned façades in contemporary architecture, their thermal performance, particularly in cooling-dominated educational buildings, remains insufficiently quantified, with existing studies largely pri...
Comparing cold-recycled asphalt mixtures (CRAMs) to conventional hot-mix asphalt (HMA) shows that CRAMs offer several logistical, financial, and environmental advantages. However, such CRAMs, when using asphalt emulsion, still suffer from excessive w...
Laminated bamboo (LB) has emerged as a promising sustainable structural material due to its rapid renewability, high strength-to-weight ratio, and favorable mechanical performance. Drawing on a comprehensive review of over 90 published experimental a...
This paper proposes a power-based optimization procedure to identify the optimal number and vertical placement of buckling restrained brace (BRB) outrigger systems for enhancing the seismic performance of core-wall-dominated benchmark model. The prop...
The dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures is a key design parameter in pavement design, which significantly impacts the mechanical properties of asphalt pavements. This study simulated dynamic modulus tests of asphalt mixtures using the three-dimension...
Three-edge bearing (TEB) tests and a crack-width-dependent load-carrying model were used to assess the combined effects of recycled glass fiber-reinforced polymer (rGFRP) short fibers and glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete pipes....
Historic masonry towers are all around the world and play a significant role in shaping our built environment. Due to their slender shape, these towers are particularly vulnerable, as recent earthquakes have demonstrated. Many researchers have studie...
