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

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy
Sustainable 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.

Estimation of fuel resistance of asphalt concrete and polymer modified asphalt concrete
Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies, 2015 Досліджено закономірності зміни паливостійкості асфальто- и асфальтополімербетонів при чистому згині в умовах одночасної дії статичного навантаження і дизельного палива. Вивчено вплив консистенції в'яжучих і способу модифікації бітуму полімером типу СБС на стійкість асфальтобетонів до дії палива. Показано, що технологія модифікації бітуму полімером, що

Laboratory verification of predicted permanent deformation in asphalt materials following climate change. [PDF]
, 2011 In the past a change in temperature of 5°C most often occurred over intervals of thousands of years. According to estimates by the IPCC, in the XXI century is expected an increase in average temperatures in Europe between 1.8 and 4.0°C in the best case ...

Structural 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 ...

Static and Dynamic Properties and Temperature Sensitivity of Emulsified Asphalt Concrete
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 Asphalt concrete is a typical rheological material, which is hard brittle at low temperature and reflects soft plastic facture at high temperature; the temperature has a great influence on the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.
