Building Treatment and Its Effects on City‐Scale Urban Flood Modeling

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Physics‐based flood hydrodynamic models are widely used for predicting inundation in urban basins with complex building layouts. While the treatment of urban buildings in these models has been extensively discussed, over‐assumptions can introduce inaccuracies, uncertainties, and excessive computational effort, particularly under data‐scarce ...

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 682-700, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

The Role of Digital Twin Technology in Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Buildings: A Systematic Literature Review

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 1036-1066, February 2026.
Digital Twin (DT) technology enhances building energy efficiency by enabling continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance, and operational optimization within Building Energy Management Systems. Through real‐time data integration and simulation, DTs provide dynamic feedback loops that optimize performance, reduce operational costs, and improve ...

Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...

Dimensional stability and water transport behavior of concrete with high contents of wind‐turbine blade waste

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 758-776, February 2026.
Abstract Fiber addition is a common strategy to enhance concrete's durability, avoiding cracks and reducing penetration of harmful agents. In this research, a sustainable fiber‐like material obtained from mechanical recycling of dismantled wind‐turbine blades and made up of glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) fibers and microfibers, balsa wood, and ...
