Smart Materials for Construction

In order to manage the resource used in road construction and for decreasing costs to optimum levels, maintenance and repair needs should be determined correctly and required actions should be applied at the right time. The current structural and functional condition of the pavement must be evaluated for management of…

Son on yılda, yol kaplaması sürdürülebilirliği ve yaşam döngüsü değerlendirmesi (LCA) konularında yapılan çalışmalar, karayolu inşaatında artan maliyetler ve iklimsel hassasiyetler ile azalan kaynaklara yanıt olarak ana araştırma konuları olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu makale yol kaplamalarının sürdürülebilirliği ve LCA…

Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing bio-oils derived from agricultural waste materials (such as straw, olive pomace, and pine cones) as rejuvenating additives in reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) containing bituminous mixtures, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach in as…

The aim of this study is to investigate the manufacturability of Melilotus officinalis (L.) reinforced epoxy biocomposites as a renewable biofiller and to characterize the mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties of these materials. For this purpose, composites containing biomass at 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt.% were prep…

This study presents a comparative investigation into the electromagnetic attenuation characteristics of four construction materials extensively used in the Turkish building industry: C-30/37 reinforced concrete, aerated concrete, pumice block (Bims), and clay brick. Transmission-only${S}_{{2 1}}$measurements were cond…

Chloride-based de-icing salts are effective for winter road safety but raise environmental and economic concerns by accelerating asphalt deterioration through runoff, penetration, and chemical erosion. To counteract damage driven by deicer, this study examined nano-nickel oxide (nano-NiO) at 2 % and 4 % by weight as a…

The prevention of electromagnetic pollution, which is increasing in all areas of industry and daily life, is an urgent scientific priority. Numerous shielding materials are being developed to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to its detrimental effects on electronic performance and potential health risks.…

Pervious concrete is considered as a sustainable paving material designed in a way that allows water to pass through its interconnected voids. This type of concrete possesses high porosity and high permeability, thereby conserving rainwater and reducing the risk of flooding. Geopolymer pervious concrete consists of di…
