A field-oriented, real-time implementation of the previously developed vision-based bridge weigh-in-motion (V-BWIM) framework is presented for vehicle-load monitoring under variable-speed and mixed-traffic conditions. Vehicle and wheel positions are...
The compressive strength of 3D-printed concrete (3DPC) varies with the loading direction, and the lowest-strength direction is not fixed across printing groups. Testing in a limited number of directions may miss the governing direction and bias the a...
The effective delivery of bio-functional agents into cracked concrete remains a critical challenge for achieving reliable microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP)-based self-healing. This study investigates a hydrogel-assisted deli...
Background and Objective: The deterioration process of infrastructure is increasingly modeled to include sudden extreme risks (jump phenomena) that lead to sudden collapses. Mathematically formulating these non-continuous transitions as partial integ...
In the construction industry, there is a growing demand for materials with mechanical properties that surpass those of conventional options. Polymer concrete, composed of polymer resins and mineral aggregates, exhibits superior mechanical performance...
This paper proposes a data-driven strategy leveraging the XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) algorithm to accurately predict the required reinforcement and the deflection of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs in real-world high-rise buildings. To achiev...
In Southwest China’s mountainous areas, subgrade slopes are prone to strain softening and progressive failure under rainfall conditions. To clarify the failure mechanism and evaluate slope stability, this study adopts the displacement-isosurfac...
Continuous rigid-frame bridges with standardized spans are increasingly favored in high-speed railway networks owing to their stable structural mechanics and economical lifecycle maintenance. Despite their widespread adoption, comprehensive quantitat...
To achieve proactive preventive maintenance of green and low-carbon infrastructure, this study systematically investigated the long-term durability and resistance degradation of prefabricated recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) bridge components. A 80-...
This research evaluates the seismic resilience of lifeline bridge columns in Vancouver, British Columbia, by comparing traditional reinforced concrete (RC) columns with an equivalent circular concrete-encased steel (CES) system. Designed to meet the...
Expansive mudstone tunnels often suffer long-term convergence and support damage because excavation-induced unloading is coupled with water-induced swelling. This study proposes a particle flow modeling framework for expansive mudstone tunnels by lin...
Long-span road–rail steel truss bridges require support-level vibration mitigation without compromising bridge serviceability, train-running safety and comfort, or environmental vibration control. This entirely numerical study establishes coord...
Infrastructure systems play a critical role in shaping environmental performance, economic investment, and social well-being. Infrastructure systems are responsible for nearly 60% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Pavement construction and ma...
This study evaluates waste-derived used motor oil (UMO) as a softening and viscoelastic rebalancing agent for a sustainable asphalt binder incorporating guayule resin and crumb rubber modifier (CRM). ARG75(20):25 contained 75% asphalt rubber (20% CRM...
Coplanar capacitance detection exhibits remarkable advantages in the detection of road texture in asphalt layers, including high sensitivity and minimal environmental constraints. However, the inherent performance contradiction between signal strengt...
The global construction industry is increasingly seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional structural materials to reduce environmental impacts and support circular economy goals. This review examines bio-based construction materials from a st...
Climate change has been associated with an increasing occurrence of extreme wind phenomena, including hurricanes, tornadoes, and downbursts, with noticeable rises in both their frequency and severity. These events have heightened concerns regarding t...
Understanding the non-linear dynamic interaction between tracks and bridge structures is essential for maintaining the safety of continuous rigid-frame bridges. To accurately capture these beam–rail interactions, this study develops a detailed...
This article thoroughly documents the focus, long-term monitoring, and survey of the condition of a unique early Gothic wooden ceiling from the 13th century in Zvíkov Castle in the Czech Republic. Through long-term monitoring of climatic param...
The tuned mass damper (TMD) exhibits good performance in suppressing wind-induced vibrations of high-rise structures. However, a single TMD has a limited control bandwidth and poor robustness. The multiple-pendulum tuned mass damper (MPTMD) offers ad...
The aging of social infrastructure, intensively constructed during periods of rapid economic growth, is a pressing challenge facing modern society. Conventional infrastructure asset management has disproportionately emphasized a “managerial fin...
Outrigger systems incorporating buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) can improve the seismic performance and resilience of tall buildings by combining lateral stiffness enhancement with supplemental energy dissipation. However, determining the effective...
Microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) can be used in place of sand in mortar to obtain phase change construction materials; however, this will degrade the mortar’s mechanical qualities. To address this challenge, a novel synergistic ap...
The Federal Institute of Material Research and Testing has performed many impact tests, from very small laboratory tests to very big “free-field” tests with heavy containers on stiff foundations. The first measurements have been done on a...
The present study investigates the application of conventional and ensemble machine learning models for slope stability prediction, which is essential for landslide risk reduction and sustainable infrastructure management. A database containing 627 s...
