Abstract: Metropolitan Adelaide in Australia is dominated by low-density suburbs with an extensive and large road supply, which brings with it car-dependent lifestyles that are ultimately unsustainable in the longer term. Changes ...

Abstract: Recent materials developed and applied for repairing, strengthening, and refining the performance of various structural elements are high-performance fiber-reinforced cement composites (HPFRCCs). These materials exhibit ...

Abstract: Colonizing Mars necessitates pioneering construction methods that harness the planet’s indigenous materials. Sulfur concrete, extracted from Martian soil, emerges as a remarkable solution. Yet, it needs reinforcement. ...

Abstract: A general procedure to construct design charts for rectangular timber columns with prescribed end eccentricities and initial bow is presented. The design charts use the new load and resistance factor design (LRFD) format. ...

Abstract: The reliability of redundant structural systems is computed in load space. The limit state curve is determined using a nonlinear structural analysis program, and system reliability is evaluated as load vectors are simulated ...

Abstract: The concerns over shortages of engineering graduates with the right skills entering industry is increasing. Lack of highly skilled graduates increases recruitment costs and affects the performance of the UK industry. ...
