Despite the benefits design for adaptability (DfA) contributes to achieving sustainability and circularity in the construction industry, studies have demonstrated that construction professionals are yet to realize its fu...

This research designs a sustainable composite material using PLA, palm biomass, and ground volcanic stone (VSMGP) to improve mechanical and insulation efficiency for green construction. The raw materials were dried , sie...

The rediscovery of a labour camp on the construction site of the Stalin Monument in Prague in spring 2021 was the result of a construction project of the Municipality of Prague. Until then, the existence of this specific...

The existing field measurements show that the deformation of retaining wall and surrounding environment induced by pre-excavation dewatering can reach centimeter level, but the relevant researches are still less. The beh...

This chapter focuses on how human colonization of Sierras of Cordoba (Argentina) impact on the high-ranked prey resource density –i.e. Lama guanicoe-. Three hypothetical scenarios were modelled altering the encounter r...

Laterite soil is essential in the construction industry, especially in road and building construction. The practice of abandoning borrow pits after mining laterite soil in the Northern Region of Ghana has resulted in lan...

Social aspects are an integral part of sustainable building alongside environmental and economic aspects. While current Green Building Rating Systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and SBToolCZ address primarily technically quant...

Abstract This study investigates how Supportive Leadership (SL) influences Eco-Friendly Building Adoption (EFBA) through Sustainability Cognition (SC) and Perceived Managerial Capability (PMC) within the Stimulus–Organ...

This is the first part of a special issue on niche construction, plasticity, and inclusive inheritance in the context of the extended evolutionary synthesis. In this part there are seven contributions: Benitez, R.A., M...

IntroductionRapid advances in digital technology have significantly increased the auditing industry's demand for interdisciplinary talent. However, current digital-intelligent auditing courses in higher education still f...

The precise prediction of post-construction settlement for high-speed railways is one of the key techniques in successful construction of high-speed railways. The in-situ observation data show that the shapes of settleme...

With the rapid development of urbanization, land resources are mainly converted into urban areas in most karst mountain regions of North China over the last decade, so studying available land resources would have implica...

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...

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...

The inorganic materials adopted in the improvement of expansive soil engineering include lime and cement. During the construction process, the improving effect is greated influenced by the mixing uniformity of the soil c...

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 ...

This study focusing on a carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide 6 (CFPA6) crash box system designed, manufactured, and crash-tested within an aluminium environment as part of a novel automotive front-end structure (FES). A ke...

Advanced geological prediction is one essential part in tunnel construction, and 3D E-SCAN resistivity device is introduced. In this device, the current and measuring electrodes are arranged on the tunnel face, which can...

Soil compaction in the process of pile driving has always plagued engineers. How to speed up the dissipation of excess pore water pressure during the pile driving is the current research focus. The permeable pipe pile, w...

Power plant projects are crucial to providing andining a reliable power system. Power plant projects, like other construction projects, often experience a problem of delayed completion of work known as time overrun, whic...

It is of essence to solve, in short time and with the minimum effort, the problem of settlements of shallow foundations of the existing buildings/structures caused by the adjacent foundation excavation. A patent-pending ...

For the a building with 13 floors high and no basemnt located in Shanghai, short leg shear wall system is used for the superstructure, and the foundation beams with precast tubular piles are used to be the foundation typ...

The design and construction of strengthening of a building in soft soil area is taken as an example. The reasons for the settlement and the inclination of this project are analyzed in combination with the monitoring data...
