Laminated bamboo and bamboo scrimber are value-added engineered forms of bamboo
produced in standard shape and size, with better physical and mechanical characteristics …

Coal has been increasingly used in the past few decades as a fuel source in power plants
and industrial facilities in many countries. The escalating demand for coal has been …

To address the dual challenges of complex environmental interference and multiscale
targets in deep learning-based tunnel lining defect identification, a novel segmentation …

In this study, properties of cement based mortars produced with vermiculite and silica fume
were investigated at ambient and elevated temperatures. Physical, mechanical, thermal and …

The number of underground tunnels used for transportation has markedly increased globally
during the past decade. This has resulted in an increased number of tunnel fire incidents …

When cement-based materials are exposed to the high temperatures induced by fire, which
can rapidly cause temperatures of over 1000° C, the changes in pore structure and density …

The utilization of coal bottom ash in civil engineering is one of the most promising options to
reduce, or possibly eliminate, the environmental and social problems related to the disposal …

This review is designed to introduce the reader to some of the basic concepts of geopolymer
(or alkali activated materials) science and technology with the aim of demonstrating the …

The tunnel is a typical underground building. Estimating the heat released by the fire
sources to the surrounding environment, as well as providing rapid emergency response …

A series of simulations are conducted in full-scale inclined road tunnels to explore the effect
of tunnel width and slope on ceiling gas temperature pattern in fire. Firstly, characteristic …
