Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Frontiers in Built EnvironmentThe construction of concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridges typically employs the “beam first and arch later” methodology. In this approach, tie beams are initially constructed on temporary supports, followed by the erection of the arch ribs.

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Measuring ice lens initiation in soils by particle image velocimetry
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical EngineeringIce lens initiation is the core issue in understanding the dynamic process of frost heave. However, there are still limitations to find an adequate criterion for describing the formation of ice lens. A series of one-dimensional freezing tests is designed

Research on a Drone‐Based Vacant Parking Detection System
IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.It can be difficult to know which spaces are available in parking lots and bicycle parking areas, so knowing the availability status is necessary for efficient parking. Therefore, in this study, we developed the drone that can display the availability status. Availability is determined by whether it can read a QR code attached to the ground. To conduct

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

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.
