Exploring Sustainability Considerations in Construction Project Manager Decision-Making In China: An Investigation Using The Q Methodology

This research examines how construction project managers in China integrate sustainability into their decision-making processes despite other constraints, such as cost, time, and quality. Using a Q-methodology, the study reveals a variety of managers' perspectives and strategies on sustainability, highlighting the complexity of integrating...

Numerical simulation of precipitation kinetics in multicomponent alloys

A universal numerical model based on the particle size distribution (PSD) approach has been developed for the simulation of precipitation kinetics in multicomponent alloys during isothermal ageing. Nucleation was implemented utilizing the classical nucleation theory (CNT). Growth and coarsening were modeled by a single growth kinetics...

“轻”之观念：新芽体系的人本内涵与衍生启示

This paper reviews the development of New-Bud System, analyzes the humanistic connotation of“light-weight”comparing with Japanese architect Shigeru’s similar practices, and interprets New-Bud’s construction concept based on humanism and its “autonomic, evolving, derivative”systematic vitality. The concept and pursuit of“light-weight for...

A Potential New Structural Design for Flexible Pavement

Throughout the history of pavement structure, the parallel layer structure has dominated the structural design of pavements. In other words, the entire road pavement share a uniform thickness design regardless how many lanes there are. However, due to traffic regulations and driving habits, the traffic flow most probably does not distribute...
