Technology-Driven Serious Games and Simulations for Construction Management Education
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Serious games and simulations differ from other forms of gaming in that their primary goal is education rather than entertainment. The face-to-face, analog format has gained popularity as an effective pedagogical strategy ... -
Examining the Barriers to the Adoption of IoT-Based Technologies in Green Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Although the adoption of Internet of Things (IoTs) for green buildings (GBs) has attracted significant attention from researchers and practitioners in the construction sector, few studies have investigated the barriers to ... -
Voluntary Workplace Proenvironmental Behavior on Construction Project Sites: Antecedent Roles of Green Human Resource Management Practices, Environmental Awareness, and Job Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Green human resource management (GHRM) has been tagged as one of the surest means of encouraging voluntary workplace proenvironmental behavior (VWPB) among an organization’s employees. However, previous studies have not ... -
Pathways to Socially Sustainable Adaptation: Real-Time and Context-Specific Vulnerability Assessment in South Carolina after Hurricane Dorian
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Effective responses to natural hazards require prompt identification of vulnerabilities within impacted communities. This task is challenging due to the unique characteristics of each hazard and the dynamic nature of ... -
The Impacts of Humanitarian Engineering Context on Students’ Sociotechnical Thinking
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Framing engineering problems in a humanitarian engineering (HE) context has been shown to have a significant impact on students’ learning, particularly how they understand and articulate sociotechnical design considerations. ... -
Axial Stress–Strain Model of LRS-FRP–Confined Rectangular Concrete Prisms Allowing for the Size Effect and Its Application in Flexural Analysis of Beams

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of Shear Transfer Mechanisms in GFRP-RC Deep Beams without Stirrups
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study focuses on the shear transfer mechanisms of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP)-RC deep beams without stirrups and proposes a unified shear model applicable to both steel- and FRP-RC deep beams. Seven concrete ... -
Assessing Compressive Properties of GFRP Bars: Novel Test Fixture and Statistical Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This study investigates the compressive behavior of thermoset glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars across different grades, sizes, and length-to-diameter (L/db) ratios using a novel testing fixture. A total of 61 ... -
Influence of Stirrup Corrosion on the Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with FRP U-Wraps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The corrosion of steel stirrups in RC beams reduces their shear capacity and bond strength with concrete and facilitates premature debonding of the concrete cover, thus affecting the strengthening effectiveness of ... -
Multilevel Damage Indicator–Enabled Seismic Damage Evolution Analysis and Fragility Assessment of Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The current performance-based seismic evaluation methodologies can be broadly classified into three categories based on the adopted indicators: displacement-based seismic evaluation, energy-based seismic evaluation, and ... -
