Unsafe behaviors at construction sites often originate from cognitive failures such as lapses in memory and attention. This study proposes a novel, hybrid framework to systematically identify and predict the key contributors of cognitive failures amo...

To enhance the damage resistance of protective engineering materials under extreme loads such as explosions and impacts, this study, building upon the improvement in impact resistance of concrete achieved by rubber modification, further incorporates...

The optimization of historic district form, given the coordinated relationship between global urbanization and sustainable development, faces the core contradiction between preservation and development. Taking Shenyang’s Nanshi area as a case s...

Contemporary design of medical and therapeutic facilities increasingly recognizes that healing outcomes are influenced not only by functional performance but also by spatial experience, sensory perception, and atmospheric qualities of the built envir...

To investigate the mechanical properties, energy evolution, and failure behavior of coal–rock composite structures under mining disturbances, a mining-induced stress path was designed based on the actual stress evolution ahead of a mining face....

Digital twin (DT) technology is recognized for its transformative potential to enhance efficiency in the construction process. However, the full potential of DT in construction practices remains largely unrealised. Moreover, few studies explore how D...

Cemented granular materials (CGMs) represent a transitional class of geomaterials where mechanical behavior is governed by the interplay between a discrete granular skeleton and a continuous cementitious matrix. While previous studies have focused on...

Under impact loading, the performance of ordinary waste glass powder concrete is lower than that of ordinary concrete. To enhance the impact resistance of waste glass powder concrete, renewable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers are introduced. Consideri...

Improving the thermal performance of building envelopes is an effective approach for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in cold and heating-dominated regions. This study presents an experimentally calibrated thermal–economic optim...

Large quantities of agricultural waste, particularly rice husk ash (RHA), are generated worldwide each year, and the lack of rational, value-added disposal pathways poses both environmental and resource-utilization challenges. To address this practic...
