Piezoresistive response and self-sensing properties of UHPC reinforced with recycled carbon fibers
(2024-10)
Article
Open AccessThis research explores Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) reinforced with recycled carbon fibers to verify its potential application in self-sensing concrete for structural health monitoring. The improved electrical ... -
Full-scale tests on segmental lining with mechanically cut cross-passage opening
(2024-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe mechanical cutting of the tunnel segmental lining to form a cross passage is typically performed in soft soil. This method can shorten the construction period and reduce environmental pollution compared with the freezing ... -
Ladle furnace slag as a new source of supplementary cementitious material: evaluating long-term performance and environmental impact in Portland cement systems
(Elsevier, 2024-10)
Article
Open AccessPortland cement (OPC) and steelmaking industries exhibit high production levels and will continue to grow to meet global infrastructure/urbanization requirements. However, their production processes are not environmentally ... -
Efficient beam-based model for reinforced concrete walls considering shear-flexure interaction
(Elsevier, 2024-09)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents an efficient beam-based modelling scheme for the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete structural walls. The model combines a force-based beam element with a fibre section for flexural response and a ... -
Predictive modelling of cooling consumption in nursing homes using artificial neural networks: implications for energy efficiency and thermal comfort
(Elsevier, 2024-12)
Article
Open AccessThe growing need for cooling within the built environment, propelled by climate change and the expansion of nursing homes due to the increase in life expectancy, highlights the urgency of implementing energy-efficient ... -
Shear behaviour and theoretical model of large shear key dry joints in precast concrete segmental bridges using advanced monitoring
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2024-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyKeyed dry joints are commonly utilised in segmental bridges for shear stress transmission. The aim of this study is to explore the shear behaviour and capacity of large shear key dry joints. The considered parameters ... -
Eigenfrequency analysis of bridges using a smartphone and a novel low-cost accelerometer prototype
(2024-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyResearchers are paying increasing attention to the development of low-cost and microcontroller-based accelerometers, in order to make structural health monitoring feasible for conventional bridges with limited monitoring ... -
Improving the thermal comfort model for students in naturally ventilated schools: Insights from a holistic study in the Mediterranean climate
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Article
Open AccessThe thermal comfort models defined in existing standards are usually ineffective in predicting students' mean thermal sensation. Accordingly, overheating and overcooling are frequently reported, which affect students’ ... -
Experimental analysis of the compressive behaviour of perforated brick masonry using digital image correlation
(2024-06)
Article
Open AccessThe paper presents an experimental program on the characterisation of the mechanical behaviour of perforated brick masonry (PBM) under uniaxial compression. The study is aimed to provide a better understanding on the ... -
Estimation of children’s CO2 generation rates in naturally ventilated educational buildings
(Elsevier, 2024-06-01)
Article
Open AccessIndoor CO CO 2 2 concentration serves as an indicator of indoor air quality, which is mainly influenced by occupants’ generation rate, outdoor ventilation rate and outdoor CO 2 levels. Determining the CO 2 generation rate ... -
Parametric study on the decarbonization potential of structural system and concrete mix design choices for mid-rise concrete buildings
(2024-05)
Article
Open AccessMid-rise reinforced concrete buildings are projected to continue being the predominant typology for urban development. Thus, reducing the carbon footprint of such buildings is critical for achieving a sustainable built ... -
