In the summer of 1932, Juan O'Gorman, a very young architect who has not yet graduated, finished in Mexico City the construction of the studio houses that he had designed for Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Behind a palisa...

Red mud that is produced as a residue of alumina from bauxite ore through the Bayer process is undesirable or has potential environmental problems due to its large volume and high pH. Red mud was incorporated into the co...

Construction generates substantial material waste with environmental and economic impacts, yet current methods rarely integrate waste estimation with project schedules. This study develops and validates semi-automated 4D...

This article considers the influence of local one-sided damage on the stress-strain state of a reinforced concrete beam. The research is aimed at analyzing changes in load-bearing capacity, deformations, and potential fa...

A simple and robust nonlinear dilatation constitutive model with clear mechanics concept is introduced, and the stiffness coefficient matrix of constitutive relationship is presented. A kind of coarsed-grained soil is co...

A crucial objective for mitigating the global environmental footprint of the construction sector is the imperative to develop sustainable and ecological concrete alternatives. This investigation presents a novel strategy...

It is common to use Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks in the construction of partition walls and infills because of their distinctive properties, including ease of work, energy conservation, and enhanced sustainab...

The global shift towards sustainability has driven significant advancements in construction methodologies. Among these innovations, 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) stands out as a transformative technology that employs gantr...

The article describes the methodology for experimental studies of an arch made of high-strength rapid-hardening concrete, presents the results of the studies in tabular form, and describes the mechanical characteristics ...

Waste material, including glass, presents significant environmental challenges due to its non-biodegradable nature and low global recycling rates. Incorporating waste glass into concrete offers a sustainable solution, bu...

Abstract Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is increasingly used in modern construction because of its improved strength, durability, and versatility. This review analyses data from several research papers to evaluat...

The sustainable utilization of post-consumer waste glass in concrete has emerged as a promising approach to reduce cement consumption, mitigate landfill disposal, and enhance material performance. However, most previous ...

Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies...

Reinforced concrete (RC) piers have been widely studied and applied in bridge construction practice. To ensure the normal operation of RC piers under corrosive environments and seismic effects, new corrosion-resistant ma...

Recycling of construction waste is essential for sustainable cement-based materials, yet the variable composition of recycled autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) powder pose significant challenges when used in grouting app...

The rock-cut heritage of the Kayseri Valleys represents a distinctive vernacular tradition shaped by technological skill, social practices, and environmental adaptation. These systems, evolving from carved spaces to maso...

Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) is composed of concrete, steel cylinder, mortar and prestressed steel wire, which has been widely used in water conveyance and diversion projects. PCCP employs high-strength conc...

ABSTRACT Wood-cement composite (WCC) is a potential construction material for tropical regions, due to its physico-mechanical properties and resistance to decay and fungi attack. However it is important to test alternati...

The deformation properties of CFRD (concrete face rockfill dam) are studied through centrifuge tests by building concrete cover plate on the alluvium foundation. Three centrifugal model tests are conducted for the purpos...

The choice of building façade materiality and composition plays a significant role in indoor and outdoor thermal comfort as well as energy efficiency. However, the carbon footprint of most construction materials contrib...

Este trabajo presenta el desarrollo metodológico para la construcción de escenarios urbanoenergéticos “tendenciales” de largo plazo en ciudades intermedias. Como aspecto original, la metodología presenta un abord...

Este trabajo presenta resultados típicos de estudios efectuados en diversas estructuras de hormigón armado afectadas por problemas de corrosión. Los casos analizados contemplan por un lado, problemas de corrosión ini...
