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 ...

Structural 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.

InfrastructuresPatching is a common technology used in repairing asphalt-pavement potholes. Due to the differences in material properties between patched- and unpatched-asphalt mixtures, significant strain and stress concentrations could be induced; thus, further ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is a major distress limiting asphalt pavement service life, and Paris law–based fracture mechanics offers a more mechanistic understanding than conventional fatigue testing. However, systematic characterization across diverse modifiers, dosages, notch depths, and temperatures remains limited.
