Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties of Concrete Containing Waste Glass and Its Application on Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Columns

Waste glass (WG), as a nonbiodegradable material, poses a threat to environmental protection. The reuse of WG as a raw material to replace cement or aggregate in concrete production is gaining attention for recycling purposes. However, the optimal proportion of WG in concrete mixtures and its particle size distribution are hard to determine....

Improving the Resilience of Postdisaster Water Distribution Systems Using Dynamic Optimization Framework

Improving the resilience of water distribution systems (WDSs) to handle natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes) is a critical step toward sustainable urban water management. This requires the water utility to be able to respond quickly to such disaster events, and in an organized manner, to prioritize the use of available resources to restore...
