The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures has increased due to its economic and environmental benefits. However, RAP integration can negatively impact the durability and performance of asphalt binders, particularly at low temper...
The usage of geopolymer-based materials (GPBMs) in concrete structures has been broadly promoted by the current construction sector. GPBMs have an outstanding influence on enhancing concrete mechanical properties. Geopolymers (GPs) also have a potent...
Foamed concrete, a lightweight material with excellent thermal insulation and low density, is increasingly popular in construction. This study uses the discrete element method (DEM) to simulate the compressive behavior of foamed concrete, analyzing t...
Plastic Concrete is a low-strength (fcm,28d ≤ 1.0 MPa), low-stiffness impervious concrete used for cut-off walls in earthen dams worldwide. These properties are achieved through a very high w/c ratio (w/c ≥ 3.0) and water-binding additions (e.g...
This study investigates the influence of ballast and sub-ballast thicknesses on the structural behavior of a heavy-haul railway platform by using finite element modeling with SysTrain software (v. 1.84) A parametric analysis was conducted to assess h...
Cement is widely used as an efficient binding agent in concrete; however, the production of cement is the second-largest source of carbon emissions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore alternative materials with similar properties. CoRncret...
Biomass offers a renewable pathway for sustainable infrastructure, particularly in bio-oil production from biomass through processes such as fast pyrolysis to be used as an alternative to asphalt binders. This review explores biomass sources, product...
The management of construction and demolition waste is a critical concern for sustainable urban development and environmental conservation. In this review, the authors provides an overview of the involvement of machine learning techniques like the su...
This paper examines the improvement in the performance characteristics and the rheological properties of modified bitumen through the addition of the thermoplastic polymer polyvinyl acetate (PVA). PVA is a synthetic polymer derived from the polymeriz...
This research study aims to enhance the understanding of corrosion behaviour in lapped spliced joints within reinforced concrete structures. Specifically, the effect of corrosion on bond degradation and crack formation is investigated. Accelerated co...
