Exploring the Emergence of Contractors' Low‐Carbon Attention in Public Projects: Perspectives From an Attention‐Based View

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of public project construction in achieving net‐zero carbon emissions highlights the imperative for contractors to prioritize low‐carbon practices. This study investigates the emergence of contractors' low‐carbon attention (LCA) based on the attention‐based view (ABV), focusing on structural factors (i.e., institutional logic and low ...

Ground vibration isolation using mass scatters: A comparative study with trench barriers and wave‐impeding blocks

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Ground‐borne vibrations are a frequent source of environmental problems. A full‐scale experiment is conducted to validate a 3D numerical model in order to analyze the efficiency of three methods of isolation. Trench barriers and wave‐impeding blocks are impractical and expensive methods of isolation, but mass scatters appear to be an efficient ...

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...
