Modelling formation and development of longitudinal cracks in concrete crossing corroding reinforcement

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2002
Tensile stresses in concrete occur under the action of reinforcement rust pressure. When they exceed concrete tensile strength or concrete extension strain exceeds limit value, concrete cracks.

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

COMPUTATIONAL APPLICATIONS IN MASONRY STRUCTURES: FROM THE MESO-SCALE TO THE SUPER-LARGE/SUPER-COMPLEX

open access: yesInternational Journal for Multiscale Computational Engineering, 2020
Masonry structures constitute a large portion of the built heritage around the world, from the past until today. Therefore, understanding their structural behavior is crucial for preserving the historical characteristics of many buildings and in ...

Unravelling indoor temperature response to summer heat through long‐term crowdsourced observations in Dutch residences

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

Benchmarking Potential Construction Waste Streams and Their Climate Impact: Life Cycle Assessment‐Based Targets for Strategic Planning of Construction Processes

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how construction waste intensity affects greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), analyzing data from 345 buildings constructed between 2007 and 2025. Using material waste rates (MWR) from previous cases, it predicts climate impacts based on typical material compositions.
