Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...

Peat Fibers and Finely Ground Peat Powder for Application in Asphalt

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2019
In this study, the feasibility of a natural peat fiber and finely ground peat powder as a modifier for bitumen was investigated. Initially, the as-received peat material was characterized in detail: the material was ground to various degrees, separated ...

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Gopal as a Sustainable Alternative: Chemical, Rheological, and Mechanical Insights

open access: yesConstruction Materials
The availability of petroleum asphalt, derived from non-renewable natural sources, is steadily declining in tandem with dwindling petroleum reserves. To mitigate the reliance on petroleum, alternative renewable natural sources are being explored for use ...

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Determination of Layers Responsible for Rutting Failure in a Pavement Structure

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2019
Rutting is one of the most common distresses in asphalt pavements in Zambia. The problem is particularly prevalent at intersections, bus stops, railway crossings, police checkpoints, climbing lanes and other heavily loaded sections, where there is ...

A probabilistic framework for modeling chloride‐induced corrosion and related load‐deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...

Historical Development of Asphalt Content Determination by the Ignition Method [PDF]

open access: yes
This study was conducted to develop a reliable, detailed test procedure for determining asphalt cement (AC) content by the ignition method. The goal was to minimize the overall test time as well as technician time, and to produce a test method with ...
