An analysis approach for building collapse accident using system thinking approach and SEA modelSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2023
Yu-Ting He, Pierre Guy Atangana Njock
The frequent occurrence of building collapse accidents not only causes significant casualties, but also jeopardizes local economies. This paper adopts a combinatory assessment approach to showcase the lessons learned from a recent building collapse in Changsha, China. The proposed approach blends the system thinking approach and strategic environmental assessment (SEA) model. It delineates the cau...... hiện toàn bộ
Building segmentation from UAV orthomosaics using unet-resnet-34 optimised with grey wolf optimisation algorithmSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 - Trang 1-18 - 2023

Given the importance and interest of buildings in the urban environment, numerous studies have focused on automatically extracting building outlines by exploiting different datasets and techniques. Recent advancements in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their associated sensors have made it possible to obtain high-resolution data to update building information. These detailed, up-to-date geogra...... hiện toàn bộ
Sustainable construction and quality of improved columns with three types of water-cement ratios on deep mixing method in Saga Lowland, Kyushu, JapanSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - - 2024
Hirofumi Usui, Donzala David Some, Mathiro José Sindete, Takenori Hino
In this study, we investigated the application of the deep mixing method (DMM) to cohesive soil in the Saga Lowland of Kyushu, Japan. The study focused on examining three types of water-cement ratio (W/C) conditions, with a constant addition of cement-based binder (C). Due to the soft clay nature of the Saga Lowland, frequent ground settlement and deformation occur, necessitating measures to preve...... hiện toàn bộ
Digital real estate: a review of the technologies and tools transforming the industry and societySmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 - Trang 1-21 - 2023
Nida Naeem, Irfan Ahmad Rana, Abdur Rehman Nasir
Real estate plays a crucial role in driving national economies. However, the process of transferring properties and engaging with various stakeholders can be hindered by a lack of adequate information, complex procedures, and excessive paperwork. The advent of digital real estate has revolutionized the industry and how stakeholders interact. The present study aims to conduct a bibliometric and sys...... hiện toàn bộ
A stacked generalisation methodology for estimating the uniaxial compressive strength of rocksSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 Số 1
Edmund Nana Asare, Michael Affam, Yao Yevenyo Ziggah
AbstractUniaxial compressive strength (UCS) has become a highly essential strength parameter in the mining, civil and geomechanical industries. Estimating the exact value of the strength of rock has become a matter of great concern in real life. Despite this, there have been many works to indirectly/directly estimate the UCS of rocks. This study introduces a novel ...... hiện toàn bộ
Prevention/mitigation of natural disasters in urban areasSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 1-16 - 2023
Chai, Jinchun, Wu, Hao-Ze
Preventing/mitigating natural disasters in urban areas can indirectly be part of the 17 sustainable economic and social development intentions according to the United Nations in 2015. Four types of natural disasters—flooding, heavy rain-induced slope failures/landslides; earthquakes causing structure failure/collapse, and land subsidence—are briefly considered in this article. With the increased f...... hiện toàn bộ
Desert sand stabilization using biopolymers: reviewSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 - Trang 1-11 - 2023
Monika Dagliya, Neelima Satyam, Ankit Garg
Wind-driven sand erosion is the leading primary reason of earth deterioration in dry lands and a major global issue. Desert dust emissions and topsoil degradation caused by wind pose a global danger to the ecosystem, economy, and individual health. The aim of the current study is to critically analyze the different types of biopolymers and their interaction mechanism with sands for desert sand sta...... hiện toàn bộ

In recent years, the comprehensive and extensive development of urban underground space (UUS) has gained substantial popularity with the efficient guidance of UUS planning. This study discussed the research trends and paradigm shift in UUS planning over the past few decades. Bibliometric and comparative studies were conducted to identify the contributions of the research in this field. The analysi...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of vulnerability to waterlogging in subway stations using integrated EWM-TOPSISSmart Construction and Sustainable Cities - Tập 1 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
He-Ting Xiang, Hai-Min Lyu
Waterlogging in subway stations has a devastating impact on normal operation of important urban facilities and can cause harm to passengers and property. It is difficult to assess the vulnerability of metro stations to waterlogging because many complex factors are involved. This study proposes a hybrid model to assess the vulnerability of subway stations to waterlogging by integrating the entropy ...... hiện toàn bộ
