Although both climatic factors and basin physical characteristics influence flood generation, projections of future floods predominantly emphasize climate change, while changes in land use, urbanization, and basin morphology are less systematically addressed. This paper presents a brief literature overview on the assessment of future floods at the ...

Pedestrian route choice in cities depends both on the overall structure of the street network and on local decisions made at points of directional change. While space syntax has shown the importance of configurational relations, wayfinding and navigation tasks point to additional cognitive mechanisms related to landmarks, route legibility, and task...

This study examines the load–deflection response of continuous self-compacting concrete (SCC) beams incorporating recycled coarse aggregates. Nine two-span beams with reinforcement ratios of 0.65–0.94% were experimentally tested using 50% and 100% aggregate replacement. Recycled aggregate beams showed slightly reduced stiffness and incr...

This paper presents a hybrid model integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize construction machinery selection based on cost, CO2 emissions, maintenance, and age. AHP was used to determine precise weighting criteria, while a Python-based GA explored the solution space using technical penalty functions. ...

The Architecture of Emptiness is an urban-architectural approach that focuses on the qualities and possibilities of unbuilt space, giving it primacy over built space. The proposed approach explores how emptiness can act as a generative force for urban-architectural pieces and how, in return, it echoes its built and natural environment. It highlight...
