MOTIVATIONS OF CITIZENS AND ENVIRONMENTAL NGOS: Co‐Producing Urban Greenspaces in Beijing
Abstract The global governance of urban greenspaces increasingly recognizes the importance of citizen and NGO involvement, since top‐down management often fails to address non‐governmental stakeholders’ diverse perceptions, preferences and demands. Research on public service co‐production and environmental stewardship emphasizes the role of internal ...

Stabilisation of Sulfide‐Bearing Clays as a New Building Ground
ABSTRACT Fine‐grained, sulfide‐bearing marine clays are found along the Finnish coastline. When excavated and exposed to air, the sulfides within these soils react with oxygen to form sulfuric acid. Such soils are classified as hypersulfidic soils.

Mechanical properties of cement and cement-asphalt matrices with rubber powder
Cement matrices are known from concrete testing. Cement-asphalt matrices made of cement and asphalt emulsion are used in mineral-cement-emulsion mixes (MCEM). The matric strength in MCEM mixtures has not been studied so far.

It is important to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of stabilized organic soils to be used in designing of foundations. Although machine learning (ML) methods have potential, the literature does not provide overall comparisons. This research suggests a new ML model that uses support vector regression (SVR), multilayer perceptron (MLP),

Gradient Boosting‐Based Modeling of Structural Performance in Hybrid Multi‐Tube Columns
This study presents an advanced predictive framework for estimating the ultimate confined strength (fcc,u) and ultimate strain (εcc,u) of a hybrid multi‐tube concrete column (MTCC), an innovative structural system that combines a fiber‐reinforced polymer (FRP) outer tube, inner steel tubes, and void‐filled concrete.

Mechanical properties of mortar containing recycled asphalt
Recycled asphalt is used in this paper as replacement for a part of cement in the production of cement composite. A part of cement was replaced with a sieved recycled asphalt powder in the proportion of 5 to 15 % of the cement weight.

The base layer is important for the road pavement structural performance. This study aims to monitor the performance of various local composite materials as road construction materials. To do this, an experimental study treated the improvement of geotechnical properties of a lateritic gravel, initially nonadopted as a base layer, by using three ...

Cactus mucilage, particularly from Opuntia ficus‐indica, exhibits remarkable film‐forming, UV‐blocking, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, making it a sustainable alternative to petroleum‐based plastics. Its applications span food preservation, edible coatings, and smart packaging systems, as well as industrial uses in construction, corrosion ...
