Advanced Control of Differential Settlement and Building Tilt in Skyscrapers

Differential settlement is one of the most critical geotechnical hazards affectinghigh-rise buildings constructed on heterogeneous, compressible, or partially saturatedsoils. Unlike uniform settlement, differential settlement generates rotation, distortion,additional bending mome...

Predictive Models of Fatigue Failure in Steel Bridges under Severe Dynamic Loading: An Advanced Fracture-Mechanics, Probabilistic, and Digital-Twin Framework

Sudden failures of steel bridges are frequently associated with fatigue cracks that initiate at welded joints, geometric discontinuities, bolted connections, orthotropic decks, diaphragm attachments, and corrosion-damaged regions. Although fatigue failure is usually a progressive...

Dynamic Torsional Resistance in Complex-Geometry Structures A Multiscale Mathematical and Physical Framework for Non-Symmetric Architectural Forms

Contemporary architectural structures increasingly employ twisted, curved, folded, re-entrant, free-form, and non-symmetric geometries. These configurations generate strong coupling between translational motion,bending, torsional rotation, warping, diaphragm distortion, and nonli...

Clinker Reduction and Environmentally Preferable Cement Alternatives in Structural Concrete

The decarbonization of structural concrete is governed less by the aggregate skeleton than by the chemistry and thermal history of the cementitious binder. Portland clinker is carbon-intensive because its manufacture combines high-temperature calcination of limestone with fuel an...

Bacterial and Microcapsule-Based Self-Healing Concrete for Megaprojects: Advanced Multiphysics Formulation and Engineering Feasibility

Cracking is the dominant serviceability and durability pathway in reinforced concrete because it accelerates the ingress of water, chlorides, sulfates, carbon dioxide, and other aggressive species toward the cement matrix and steel reinforcement. Self-healing concrete (SHC) seeks...
