Caring with forests: Human and more‐than‐human care in forest occupations in Germany

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on ongoing ethnographic and participatory action research within forest occupations in Germany, this paper develops the concept of ‘caring with forests’ to theorise the mutual, multidimensional relationships of care that emerge between humans and more‐than‐human beings in environmental protest settings.

The Use of Polyethylene Terephthalate Waste for Modifying Asphalt Concrete Using the Marshall Test

open access: yesSlovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2019
This study considers the use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste for modifying asphalt concrete. In the study, the optimum bitumen content of asphalt concrete was replaced with 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14% and 16% of PET waste; the Marshall test was ...

Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants.

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.

AI‐Driven Circular Construction Waste Management for Advancing Sustainable Development

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) represents up to 40% of global solid waste, posing a significant barrier to achieving circular economy (CE) objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 12. However, construction waste management (CWM) systems remain constrained by fragmented data environments ...

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 ...

Experimental Study on Hydraulic Fracturing of High Asphalt Concrete Core Rock-Fill Dam

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
In this paper, we experiment on the hydraulic fracturing of asphalt concrete with a voids content higher than 3%, which has arisen from the possible local shear dilatancy of Quxue asphalt’s core wall of concrete core dam, the highest one of the ...
