The world is currently grappling with the two critical issues of global warming and climate change, which are primarily caused by the emission of greenhouse gases. The construction industry and buildings significantly contribute to these emissions, a...

Due to expansion in infrastructure and increased development of urbanization in Ethiopia, most of the places are covered either by impermeable cement concrete or bitumen that blocks the percolation of water from rainfall. A porous concrete made of ze...

The rapid increase in plastic usage today poses a significant threat to our environment and the planet. It contributes to global warming and negatively impacts biodiversity. Most plastic ends up in landfills, where it can take up to 1000 years to dec...

Concrete is one of the most commonly used materials in civil engineering construction, and it continues to have increased production. This puts pressure on the consumption of its constituent materials, including Portland cement and aggregates. There...

This review paper explores the integration of phase change materials (PCMs) in building insulation systems to enhance energy efficiency and thermal comfort. Through an extensive analysis of existing literature, the thermal performance of PCM-enhanced...

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of blended binders on the stabilization of clayey soils intended for use as road and pavement materials in selected regions of Sweden. The stabilization potential of blended binders containing five stabilizer...

To develop a more reactive pozzolan for supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), the co-calcination of kaolinite and limestone was investigated for its contribution to hydration of blended cement. Kaolinite (with ~50 wt% quartz impurity) was calc...

According to pavement design principles, the subgrade or soil layer serving as the foundation for pavement depends on the properties and stiffness of the soil material. The resilient modulus (MR) is the absolute measure of the bearing capacity of the...

The research objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of different types of cement and different climatic conditions on the durability of reinforced concrete structures to understand and address issues of durability and erosion. The types...

Flooding hazards due to climate change are increasingly becoming a frequent global occurrence. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the various structural mitigation and adaptation strategies available to engineers and design...
