Fair and Equitable Land Access (FELA) by Development Projects: Enhancing Governance for Sustainable Development Outcomes When Projects Displace People

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Displacing people to make way for development projects is contentious. Empirical research demonstrates that neither human rights guidelines nor multilateral lenders' standards guarantee positive, sustainable outcomes for displaced people. With multiple new displacing projects proposed globally, including for renewable energy, we propose a new ...

Numerical modelling of train pulling off with incomplete brake release

Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта
Introduction. Unsteady train movement causes abrupt changes in the traction magnitude with oscillating and sometimes shocking relative movements of the cars.

The History and Ideas of George Herbert Mead's Pragmatism and Its Relevance for Operational Research and Systems Thinkers

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

Peculiarities of metal work in the defect formation zone of a monoblock crossing

Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта
Introduction. The paper analyses the causes of appearance and development of defects of the solid block with wing rails and welded rail ends (monoblock crossing) operating under heavy and intensive traffic conditions.

The clashing of in situ and pre‐cast technologies—Western trends and local traditions in concrete engineering shaping shell construction in 20th‐century Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract After a blossoming pre‐World War II (WWII) period, the concrete construction industry in then‐socialist Hungary existed in a relative isolation from the Western World during the mid‐20th century. In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Generation of geometric irregularities as random disturbances causing rail cab oscillations

Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта
Introduction. Solving the dynamics problems of rail cabs requires specifying the kinematic disturbance of their oscillations represented through equivalent vertical and horizontal geometric irregularities of the left and right rails.

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.

Comparative analysis of ultrasonic control sensitivity in using straight and angle piezoelectric transducers of different manufacturers on the example of flaw detector UD2-102 Peleng

Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта
Introduction. Railway transport has ultrasonic control as one of the main methods of detection of defects of the type of continuity violation (cracks, pores and others) both in the base metal and in weld seams of various items.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Rail steel contact fatigue curves

Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта
Introduction. The problem of contact fatigue damage of rails has become especially urgent with the intensified railway freight load. An effective method of studying various damage factors is mathematical simulation of the dynamics of motion and ...
