AbstractPreservation of metals in infrastructures and other assets requires
cost-effective and sustainable solutions such as green corrosion inhibitors.
This study assesses an apple pomace-derived green inhibitor synthesized by an
innovative zero-waste method. Electrochemical measurements revealed the high
performance of this liquid extract in reducing the corrosion of carbon steel in
NaCl brine. ... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractInfrastructure is necessary to protect and provide the goods and
services required by humans. As coastal green infrastructure (CGI) aims to
respect and work with natural processes, it is a feasible response to mitigate
or avoid the consequences of coastal squeeze. The concept of CGI is receiving
increased attention of late due to the challenges facing us, such as climate
change, population... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractWith the rapid development of society and industry, novel technologies
and materials related to pavement engineering are constantly emerging. However,
with the continuous improvement of people’s demands, pavement engineering also
faces more and more enormous challenges that the pavement materials must have
excellent engineering properties and environmental benefits. Meanwhile, the

Asphalt pavement structures in cold regions, which suffer from complicated
environmental and geological conditions, such as large temperature difference
and frozen soil, are prone to cracking, rutting, and moisture damage. However,
most of the existing assessment methodologies focus on the vulnerability of the
overall road traffic network, ignoring the impact of regional differences and
pavements’... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThis study established a systematic simulation framework to predict the
anti-icing longevity of a thin overlay of asphalt pavement with salt-storage
additive (APSSA). The water and chloride transport in the overlay when subjected
to varying precipitation, temperature, thermal cracking, and fatigue cracking
over time were modeled using a Finite Element Method based software. The
simulation ... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractHurricanes and sea level rise pose significant threats to infrastructure
and critical services (e.g., air and sea travel, water treatment), and can
hinder sustainable development of major economic sectors (e.g., tourism,
agriculture, and international commerce). Planning for a disaster-resilient
future requires high-resolution, standardized data. However, few standardized
approaches exist ... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractStructural health monitoring (SHM) system aims to monitor the in-service
condition of civil infrastructures, incorporate proactive maintenance, and avoid
potential safety risks. An SHM system involves the collection of large amounts
of data and data transmission. However, due to the normal aging of sensors,
exposure to outdoor weather conditions, accidental incidences, and various
operatio... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractConstruction equipment tracking of highway construction site can obtain
the spatiotemporal location in real time and provide data basis for construction
risk control. The complete 2D moving of construction equipment in surveillance
videos could be spatially represented by the translation, rotation and size
change of corresponding images. To describe the temporal relationships of these
vari... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractThis paper proposes a novel multi-grids steel plate shear wall with
inclined slots (called MSPSW). This MSPSW composed of the steel plates with
inclined slots, precast concrete panels, the transverse and longitudinal (T&L)
connecting stiffeners, and external frame components. Smaller single plates can
be used in the design and installation process since the space size of
individual frames ... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractIn cold regions, the environment dynamics lead to variations of soil
temperature, water content, and deformation, which are characterized by highly
coupled physical interplay. The hydraulic and thermal properties of unsaturated
soils are highly nonlinear, which is further complicated when subjected to
freezing. This paper presents a comprehensive multiphysics coupling model to
evaluate the... hiện toàn bộ
