Recent advances in embedded technologies and self‐sensing concrete for structural health monitoring
Abstract Fully embedded and spatially diffuse sensors are central to the advancement of civil and construction engineering. Indeed, they serve as an enabling technology necessary for addressing the current challenges associated with through‐life management and structural health monitoring of existing structures and infrastructures. The need to identify

Evalution of Hot Mix Asphalt Moisture Sensitivity Using the Nottingham Asphalt Test Equipment, July 2005 [PDF]
Moisture sensitivity of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures, generally called stripping, is a major form of distress in asphalt concrete pavement. It is characterized by the loss of adhesive bond between the asphalt binder and the aggregate (a failure of the ...

The Monster ‘Within’: Capitalist Urbanization as Geometabolic Escalation
ABSTRACT This article challenges prevailing approaches to urban sustainability by reconceptualizing capitalist urbanization as a planetary process of geometabolic escalation. Hegemonic visions of sustainable cities render invisible the non‐city sociometabolic preconditions and consequences of urban life under capitalism.

Ground zero soil sampling: Trinity, 1945
At Trinity—the world's first nuclear weapons testing site—large quantities of soil were drawn into the fireball to redeposit either downwind as radioactive fallout or in the near‐field as a unique, anthropogenic silicate glass trinitite. Manhattan Project physicists and chemists came to see soils at the Trinity site as a useful medium to assess the ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

A rendering‐based lightweight network for segmentation of high‐resolution crack images
Abstract High‐resolution (HR) crack images provide detailed structural assessments crucial for maintenance planning. However, the discrete nature of feature extraction in mainstream deep learning algorithms and computational limitations hinder refined segmentation.
