Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The sand crisis has received growing attention in recent years, and a number of substitutes have been examined by researchers in order to reduce the use of river sand. Typical substitutes are industrial by‐products that would otherwise require land for waste disposal. Steel slag (SS) is one such by‐product that can be used as a replacement for alluvial

Plant responses to urban gradients: Extinction, plasticity, adaptation
Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 12, Page 2861-2875, December 2024.Herbaceous plants often change their morphology in response to urban conditions: grass cutting, altered soils, warmer temperatures and being surrounded by tightly‐packed buildings. These changes are sometimes hereditary, which suggests that city management and planning affect the ability of plants to survive and evolve in urban environments.

Structural Concrete, Volume 25, Issue 5, Page 4075-4102, October 2024.Abstract The present study aims to investigate how the use of high‐range water reducer (HRWR) and variations in water/cement (W/C) ratio affect the properties of self‐consolidating concrete (SCC) while taking into account different proportions of polypropylene fibers (PF) and natural zeolite (NZ). A total of 28 samples were cast and analyzed.

Present Status and Perspectives of Graphene and Graphene‐related Materials in Cultural Heritage
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 13, March 25, 2024.The conservation and restoration of cultural heritage necessitates unprecedented solutions against natural aging and degradation. Graphene and graphene‐related materials (GRMs) have unique characteristics and properties and could provide novel opportunities. This review aims to elucidate how specific characteristics of these materials can be applied to

Activated Bentonite for Physical, Mechanical, and Durability Properties of Concrete—A Review
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Bentonite mostly exists in many counties and studies reported employment of activated bentonite in the concrete improves concrete performance more than using raw bentonite. However, it is not well‐known which range of bentonite activation temperature and employment dose gives the best concrete performance for the sustainability of activated bentonite ...
