Influence of joint load-bearing behavior on the system-level response of reinforced-concrete truss-like beams: topology optimization basis

Frontiers in Built Environment
Structural optimization can reduce material use and embodied carbon in reinforced concrete (RC) beams, but the removal of concrete creates truss-like load paths in which local joint behavior may strongly influence stiffness, force redistribution, and ...

From green fingers and green ring to green mitten: Helsinki’s polycentric urbanisation and its impact on green structure

European Spatial Research and Policy
Urbanisation changes the landscape and fragments spatial structures including greenspaces across much of the world and Europe. The resultant impacts and morphological characteristics are understudied within peri-urban regions of cities.

Green Infrastructure, Green Stormwater Infrastructure, and Human Health: A Review [PDF]

Current Landscape Ecology Reports, 2017
In a growing trend, cities around the world have been installing Green Infrastructure (GI) in the form of vegetated landscapes that provide ecological benefits such as stormwater management, wildlife habitats, and temperature moderation (Tzoulas et al. Landsc Urban Plan. 61(3):11, 2007). Some GI, such as trees and green spaces, have positive impacts on
