IntroductionA continuous increase in the durability requirements of the concrete structures is demanded to guarantee their safety throughout a longer service-life span, and, because of increasingly challenging environmental exposure conditions…

AbstractStratigraphic transitions within the tunnel envelope cause a rapid change in tunnel boring machine (TBM) operating parameters and impose a significant challenge to TBM tunnel projects. This paper presents a…

AbstractDue to the expanding availability of high-fidelity weigh-in-motion (WIM) data in recent years, various local agencies have modified bridge design and rating procedures to best reflect state-specific traffic loads. However,…

AbstractThis study aims at analyzing the influence of agroindustrial waste incorporation into red ceramics to produce lightweight aggregates sintered in a microwave oven. Sustainable artificial lightweight aggregates are sought out,…

AbstractBuilding information modeling (BIM) and its associated digital tools have been widely adopted in designing, constructing, and operating infrastructures, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the influence of these communication…

AbstractChanges in precipitation and flow regimes may cause more catastrophic floods in the future. This study examines the trends in a subbasin of Bartin Stream in the Western Black Sea…

AbstractThe application of heavy fuel oil (HFO) in high-speed diesel engines is a practical approach to reducing running costs. However, the physical and chemical properties of HFO may lead to…

AbstractThe comfort threshold is one of the basic controls in designing horizontal alignment. Some studies have implied that the recommended comfort thresholds are conservative because they were determined using the…

AbstractMany postindustrial cities are transforming underused areas into urban agriculture, which presents unique stormwater management challenges. One way to manage runoff from urban agriculture is to use green stormwater infrastructure;…

AbstractThe performance of retaining walls is affected by spatial variability in the properties of the retained backfill. In practice, the conventional approach for designing retaining walls is deterministic and is…
