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...

The progressive depletion of natural aggregate resources and the increasing emphasis on sustainable construction practices have intensified interest in incorporating recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) into cement-based materials. This study provides a...

Sustainable development is crucial worldwide. Under the Paris Agreement, countries commit to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) assessed every five years. China, a major contributor to global warming, has made significant efforts to reduce ca...

Periodically supported beams are widely employed in engineering structures, where effective control of low-frequency vibration and noise is often required. To achieve broadband elastic wave manipulation, an inertial amplification (IA) mechanism was i...

With the increasing number of highly airtight residences, concerns have risen that the negative pressure formed indoors during kitchen hood operation can reduce capture performance and cause unintended infiltration. This study experimentally and nume...
