Material effects on strawbale wall seismic capacity [PDF]

, 2017
Strawbale construction is a sustainable, viable alternative to conventional building practices. As a newly introduced appendix to the International Residential Code (IRC), the strawbale construction requirements may benefit from further evaluation and ...

From pixels to rating—A semiautomated system linking multi‐damage segmentation and condition rating in concrete bridge inspections

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 30, Page 5842-5866, 19 December 2025.
Abstract While machine learning (ML) has advanced image‐based damage detection, a critical gap remains: the automated translation of detected damage into standardized condition ratings used in structural assessments. Most existing approaches stop at semantic segmentation, overlooking the damage rating step essential for practical inspections.

A Study on the Bonding Properties of SBR/WER Composite-Modified Emulsified Asphalt Waterproof Bonding Layer for Bridge Floors

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering
To address the inadequate bonding performance between layers of cement concrete bridge decks, this paper proposes the use of styrene butadiene latex/water-based epoxy resin (SBR/WER) composite modified emulsified asphalt as a waterproof bonding material.

Interfacial fracture toughness of composite concrete beams [PDF]

, 2019
A test for measuring the interfacial fracture toughness of a bi-material interface, essentially for concrete overlaid pavements was developed. The measured interfacial fracture toughness of steel fibre-reinforced, roller-compacted, polymer modified ...

Efficient and physically consistent generation of 2D concrete mesostructures via a regressor‐guided diffusion framework

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 31, Page 6622-6637, 29 December 2025.
Abstract Concrete mesostructure modeling is critical for simulation‐driven material design, as it directly influences the accuracy of mechanical and durability analyses. However, conventional methods such as computed tomography–based reconstruction and aggregate sequential placement suffer from low efficiency and limited controllability.

Bio-Based Renewable Additives for Anti-Icing Applications (Phase II) [PDF]

, 2019
The performance and impacts of several agro-based anti-icers along with a traditional chloride-based anti-icer (salt brine) were evaluated. A statistical design of experiments (central composite design) was employed for developing anti-icing liquids ...

Microstructural and geochemical evidence offers a solution to the cephalopod cameral deposits riddle

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Orthoceratoid cephalopods are common in the Palaeozoic rock record but went extinct in the Late Triassic. Many orthoceratoids contain cameral deposits, which are enigmatic calcareous structures within their chambered shell that presumably balanced their straight conchs in a horizontal position. Since the mid‐19th century, palaeontologists have

THE EFFECT OF RECLAIM TIRE RUBBER AS ADDITIVE IN MINIMIZING REFLECTIVE CRACKING

Diyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2010
The rehabilitation of cracked pavement by overlaying, without any improvement, is rarely a durable solution, as the cracks rapidly propagate through the new asphalt layer.

Waste Tire as an Asphalt Cement Modifier for Road Pavement

International Journal of u- and e-Service, Science and Technology, 2014
In view of the issue related to the rising cost of construction and need to contribute to the solution of the ever-growing environment backlog problems, the study paved the way for the recognition of using waste tire as an asphalt cement modifier for road construction to solve the current issue on waste disposal.
