Emerging deployment of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) for durable and resilient bridge infrastructure

Abstract Modern bridges are faced with lifecycle challenges of ensuring safety and durability under the combined exposure to traffic and environmental loadings. As an emerging high-performance material, Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) possesses ultrahigh tensile ductilit...

Dynamic Media Storage Links Antecedent Soil Moisture to Runoff Retention in Field-Scale Bioretention Systems

Antecedent soil moisture determines how much storage remains in bioretention media before rainfall, but its relationship with runoff control is poorly quantified. Three wet seasons of monitoring were analyzed for two field-scale bioretention systems with contrasting media depths,...

Combined effects of ceramic polishing powder and GGBS on microstructure and freeze–thaw performance of concrete

The concrete industry faces dual challenges of high carbon emissions and large-scale accumulation of industrial solid wastes, particularly in cold regions where freeze–thaw damage significantly reduces structural durability. This study investigates the combined use of ceramic pol...

Beyond State-Led Sustainable Governance: How Nonprofit Organizations Alleviate NIMBY Risks in Chinese Megacity Communities

Chinese megacity communities are not only the primary drivers of economic development but also epicenters of systemic contradictions compounded by overlapping risks. In recent years, NIMBY conflicts have arisen with growing frequency within urban communities, posing a severe thre...

Integrating global crop models with knowledge graphs: Evolution, comparison, and future directions

Crop models leverage mathematical methods to simulate plant growth and environmental responses, forming a powerful and critical tool for agricultural decision support in research, management, and policy–making. However, a comprehensive review that systematically integrates global...
