INTRODUCTION: Smart cities, artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, and low-carbon building materials are pivotal to public health, environmental sustainability, and green efficiency. Despite their critical importance, understanding public percep...
BackgroundThe Delphi technique and its fuzzy variant are widely employed across various sectors, including industrial applications, for eliciting expert consensus and identifying priorities. Despite its prevalence, there is limited literature on its ...
Recycling waste glass (WG) can be time-consuming, costly, and impractical. However, its incorporation into concrete significantly reduces environmental impact and carbon emissions. This paper introduces machine learning (ML) to civil engineering to o...
Detecting cracks in asphalt concrete slabs is challenging due to environmental factors like lighting changes, surface reflections, and weather conditions, which affect image quality and crack detection accuracy. This study introduces a novel deep lea...
The accumulation of construction solid waste (CSW) leads to the waste of land resources and environmental pollution, becoming a significant social problem. Identifying the amount of high-value CSW is essential for assessing the value of accumulated C...
Concrete compressive strength is a critical parameter in construction and structural engineering. Destructive experimental methods that offer a reliable approach to obtaining this property involve time-consuming procedures. Recent advancements in art...
This article presents a comparative analysis of the circularity and cost-efficiency of two distinct construction material recycling processes: ML-based automated sorting (MLAS) and conventional sorting technologies. Empirical data was collected from ...
Managing construction and demolition waste (CDW) poses serious concerns regarding landfilling and recycling because of the potential release of hazardous elements after leaching. Ceramic materials such as bricks, tiles, and porcelain account for more...
Concrete frameworks require strong structural integrity to ensure their durability and performance. However, they are disposed to develop cracks, which can compromise their overall quality. This research presents an innovative crack diagnosis algorit...
