Valorization of Crushed Fly Ash Brick Waste as a Low‐Carbon Binder for Sustainable Concrete Production

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The construction industry significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions, with cement production being a major factor. Concurrently, large quantities of crushed fly ash brick (CFAB) waste accumulate due to manufacturing defects. In this study, CFAB powder was developed as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) by partially replacing cement in ...

The Effect of Granite Waste Powder as a Cement Substitute on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Mortar

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Granite is extensively used in the construction industry; however, substantial solid waste is produced during production. This study focused on the feasibility of replacing cement with granite powder (GP) in cement mortar by investigating various properties, like consistency, water retention, density, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural ...

Oval Domes: History, Geometry and Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
An oval dome may be defined as a dome whose plan or profile (or both) has an oval form. The word Aoval@ comes from the latin Aovum@, egg. Then, an oval dome has an egg-shaped geometry.

Review of Research on Reinforced Concrete Shell Structure Produced Using an Inflated Form

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reinforced concrete shell structures produced using an inflated form are widely used in large‐span thin‐shell spatial structures. Unlike the construction technology of traditional concrete building structures, this method involves prefabricating the membrane material into a designed shape as the construction framework.

Structural asessment and strengthening of Atatürk's mausoleum, Anitkabir [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Anıtkabir is the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the commander of Turkish War of Independence and the founder of Republic of Turkey. Rather than a work of architecture, Anıtkabir has been a symbol and a focal center of Atatürk’s principles ...

Decommissioning Cost Estimate for the Ghana Research Reactor‐1 Facility Using the CERREX‐D2 Software

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Ghana Research Reactor‐1 facility would certainly be decommissioned, either at the end of its life or by a decision to discontinue its operation. In planning for GHARR‐1’s eventual decommissioning, estimating the overall decommissioning cost is a major activity that needs to be undertaken to support budgeting and decision‐making for the project.

Modelling of masonry creep and damage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The problems related to the analysis of ancient constructions are gigantic due to the difficulties in characterizing the geometry, the materials, the sequence of construction, the existing damage and the building processes.

Habitual masonry styles and the local organisation of church building in early medieval Ireland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The results of a masonry analysis of the majority of Irish pre-Romanesque churches are presented. A number of local styles are identified in high-density areas, mostly in the west of the country and it is shown that the differences between these styles ...

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

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 792-799, December 2025.
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 ...
