Urban Heat Island: Causes, Consequences, and Mitigation Measures with Emphasis on Reflective and Permeable Pavements

Svetlana Vujović, Bechara Haddad, Hamzé Karaky et al. · 9 Jun 2021

Economic and social development of urban and rural areas continues in parallel with the increase of the human population, especially in developing countries, which leads to sustained expansion of impervious surface areas, particularly paved surfaces. The conversion of pervious surfaces to impervious surfaces significantly modifies local energy balance in urban areas and contributes to urban…

Comparison of Multi-Criteria Group Decision-Making Methods for Urban Sewer Network Plan Selection

Zhen Yong Wu, Georges Abdul-Nour · 16 Jun 2020

Selecting a suitable sewer network plan for a city is a complex and challenging task that requires discussion among a group of experts and the consideration of multiple conflicting criteria with different measurement units. A number of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have been proposed for analyzing sewer network selection problems, each having their own distinct…

A Comprehensive Literature Review on Polymer-Modified Asphalt Binder

Mostafiz Emtiaz, Md. Nafis Imtiyaz, Mishuk Majumder et al. · 18 Aug 2023

Due to periodic variations in temperature and heavy traffic loading, hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements undergo considerable distress during their service life. The rheological properties of asphalt binder, when subjected to complex physical and chemical processes, make it stiff and sometimes brittle, which ultimately plays a huge part in pavement deterioration. This phenomenon is commonly known…

Nano Silica and Metakaolin Effects on the Behavior of Concrete Containing Rubber Crumbs

Navid Chalangaran, Alireza Farzampour, Nima Paslar · 8 Nov 2020

The excessive production of worn tires remaining from the transportation system and the lack of proper procedures to recycle or reuse these materials have caused critical environmental issues. Due to the rubber’s toughness, this material could be implemented to increase concrete toughness, and by crushing the tires concrete aggregates can be replaced proportionally with rubber…
