Environmental Risk of Turbidity Caused by Construction Activities near the Gulf in UAE
(Avestia Publishing, 2023)
Studies indicate that construction activities can affect several water surfaces; hence, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has examined the environmental impacts of construction sites near water surfaces. However, ...
Effect of using Oil Shale Ash on geotechnical properties of cement-stabilized expansive soil for pavement applications
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Expansive soil is considered an engineering problem that may cause cracks and distresses in structures and roads. Due to its swelling potential and low unconfined strength, expansive soil causes failures in structures and ...
Enhancing of uniaxial compressive strength of travertine rock prediction through machine learning and multivariate analysis
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-12)
Indirect methods for predicting material properties in rock engineering are vital for assessing elastic mechanical properties. Accurately predicting material properties holds significant importance in rock and geotechnical ...
Closing the gap to sufficiency-based absolute climate targets for wood buildings
(Institute of Physics, 2023)
This research investigated the distribution of the global climate planetary boundary (PB) on a national scale. Then it was distributed to a sector-specific carrying capacity by the principles of acquired rights (grandfathering) ...
Readjusting the climate change hyperfocus: how expanding the scope of impact categories will affect the evaluation of wood buildings
(Institute of Physics, 2023)
The sole focus on reducing the climate impact of dwellings by using wood is neglecting other impacts on nature. Therefore, this study clarifies the potential burden shift by considering ten more impact categories than ...
