Abstract

Soil stabilization is a crucial aspect of geotechnical engineering aimed at enhancing bearing capacity and structural load resistance. Conventional methods, such as cement and lime, are commonly used but contribute to high carbon emissions, necessitating the exploration of more sustainable alternatives. One promising approach is the utilization of nanomaterials in soil stabilization. This study evaluates the effectiveness of nano-silica, nano-clay, and graphene oxide in improving soil properties and identifies the optimal dosage for practical applications. Laboratory experiments were conducted to measure Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), permeability, and dry density following nanomaterial treatment. The results demonstrate that graphene oxide (1.5%) yields the highest UCS increase, reaching 330 kPa, compared to 120 kPa in untreated soil. Nano-silica (2.5%) also significantly improves UCS to 315 kPa, while nano-clay (3.0%) exhibits the most effective permeability reduction to 6.2 × 10⁻⁵ cm/s. Statistical analysis using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) confirms that an optimal nanomaterial dosage can effectively enhance soil stability without compromising other physical properties. This study contributes to the advancement of nanotechnology applications in geotechnical engineering, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional stabilization techniques. The findings offer a foundation for real-world implementation of nanomaterial-based soil stabilization and support the development of more sustainable infrastructure solutions.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of urban infrastructure necessitates more efficient and proactive maintenance strategies. Traditional maintenance approaches often rely on reactive measures, leading to increased costs, unplanned downtime, and potential structural failures. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Digital Twin technology offers a promising solution by enabling predictive maintenance through real-time monitoring and advanced analytics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-driven Digital Twin systems in enhancing predictive maintenance for urban infrastructure. A qualitative case study methodology was employed, analyzing multiple infrastructure projects that integrated Digital Twin technology. Data were collected from project reports, real-time sensor outputs, and expert interviews. The predictive capabilities of machine learning models, including Decision Trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Deep Learning networks, were assessed based on their precision, recall, and F1-score. The results demonstrated that Deep Learning models achieved the highest fault detection accuracy, with an F1-score of 92.5%, outperforming other models. The adoption of Digital Twin systems resulted in a 30% reduction in maintenance costs and a 40% decrease in infrastructure downtime. Additionally, AI-driven predictive maintenance improved fault detection efficiency, reducing the average detection time from 15 days to 3 days. These findings highlight the potential of AI-enhanced Digital Twins in optimizing urban infrastructure resilience, cost efficiency, and sustainability. This study underscores the importance of integrating AI and Digital Twin technologies in predictive maintenance strategies. Future research should focus on addressing implementation challenges, including data security, interoperability, and computational costs, to facilitate broader adoption in smart city development

Abstract

The increasing demand for construction materials has led to excessive exploitation of natural aggregates, raising concerns about environmental sustainability and carbon emissions. Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) has been introduced as a potential alternative to natural aggregates, but its application in seismic-resistant structures remains a challenge due to its lower mechanical properties. This study aims to evaluate the structural performance of RCA-based concrete in seismic applications by analyzing its compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, and cyclic loading resistance. An experimental approach was employed, where concrete samples with RCA proportions of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% were tested under standardized laboratory conditions. The results indicate that RCA can be used up to 50% without significant loss of compressive strength, which remained above 30 MPa. However, at RCA proportions above 50%, compressive strength decreased by up to 30%, and the elastic modulus dropped from 30.2 GPa (0% RCA) to 20.8 GPa (100% RCA). Cyclic loading tests further revealed a reduction in energy dissipation capacity, from 85 kJ at 0% RCA to 55 kJ at 100% RCA, and an increase in residual deformation. These findings highlight the need for mix optimization in high-RCA concrete, such as incorporating supplementary materials like fly ash, nano-silica, or fiber reinforcement to enhance mechanical performance. This study contributes to the sustainable development of construction materials by providing insights into the feasibility and limitations of RCA in seismic-resistant structures
