Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are widely recognised as a key strategy for conserving marine biodiversity while advancing sustainable development. Beyond ecological conservation, MPAs are increasingly expected to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty among coastal communities that depend on marine resources.

Stresses in Above‐Ground Storage Tanks Subjected to Flood‐Borne Debris Impact
Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.This study investigates the stresses induced in above‐ground storage tanks by flood‐borne debris, specifically steel pipes and wood poles. Findings demonstrate that debris impacts across the examined velocity range generate stresses within safe limits, not exceeding the yield stress threshold.

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.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...
