Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There are two opposing trends in urban development: one is the exponential growth of cities and the other is shrinking cities,” which are characterized by a decrease in number of residents. Since the 2008 financial crisis, ...
Exploring the Impact of Urban Green Space on Residents’ Health in Guangzhou, China
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: China’s rapid urbanization has exerted long-lasting effects on socioeconomic development in cities and on the living conditions of urban Chinese. However, few studies have focused on understanding the effects of urban green ...
Residual Value Risks of Highway Pavements in Public–Private Partnerships
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Residual value risk of an infrastructure asset under public–private partnerships (P3s) refers to the risk that on expiry or termination of the P3 contract, the asset does not have the value that the sponsoring public ...
Diffusion or Polarization in Intercity Property Markets after the Completion of Intercity Metro Line
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As an important intercity commuting approach, the intercity metro line is expected to increase the housing choices of residents in core cities and then change the price difference between property markets in two connected ...
Construction Schemes for Shallow and Asymmetrically Loaded Tunnels Crossing Below a Bridge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the development of infrastructure, new tunnel crossings below existing bridges are becoming increasingly common. This paper presents a case history of a shallow, double-line tunnel crossing below a bridge on a hillslope ...
Numerical Modeling of Nonuniform Corrosion-Induced Concrete Crack Width
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Corrosion of reinforced concrete is one of the major deterioration mechanisms that results in premature failure of the reinforced concrete structures. In practice, concrete crack width is one of the most important criteria ...
Exploring Combinations of Landscape Features in Urban Green Spaces and Their Recovery Effects on Minor Depression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: While increasing scholarly research from various perspectives has affirmed the therapeutic role of urban green spaces for individuals with depression, there is a notable gap in understanding how different landscape features ...
