Abstract

Seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is essential to assess their safety and resilience against earthquake loading. Among nonlinear static procedures, pushover analysis has emerged as a practical and widely accepted method for estimating the seismic capacity of building structures. This study aims to assess the seismic performance of RC moment-resisting frames through pushover analysis based on the capacity curve. A mid-rise RC frame model was developed and analyzed using ETABS software, subjected to gradually increasing lateral static loads until structural failure occurred. The analysis focused on lateral displacement behavior, internal force distribution, and performance level evaluation based on FEMA 356 and ATC-40 criteria. The results indicate that the structure generally performs within Immediate Occupancy (IO) to Life Safety (LS) performance levels depending on the applied lateral load. The formation of plastic hinges was predominantly concentrated in beams and lower-level columns, exhibiting typical ductile behavior. This research confirms the value of pushover analysis as an effective and cost-efficient tool to identify structural weaknesses and inform seismic retrofitting strategies in vulnerable RC frame buildings.

Abstract

The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global CO₂ emissions, primarily due to the production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). In recent years, geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as a promising sustainable alternative, utilizing industrial by-products such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) to replace traditional cement. This study investigates the effectiveness of geopolymer concrete in reducing the carbon footprint of concrete production without compromising structural performance. A series of experimental tests were conducted to compare the mechanical and environmental properties of GPC with conventional OPC concrete, including compressive strength, durability under aggressive environments, and total embodied carbon emissions. Results showed that geopolymer concrete achieved comparable or superior compressive strength values at 28 days, particularly when heat curing was applied. Furthermore, a significant reduction of up to 80% in CO₂ emissions was observed, depending on the source material and mix design. The study confirms that geopolymer concrete has strong potential to be adopted in both structural and non-structural applications, particularly in regions with abundant industrial waste materials. It is recommended as a key strategy in decarbonizing the construction sector while meeting performance and durability requirements.

Abstract

The environmental impact of infrastructure development has become a critical concern in sustainable engineering practices, particularly in large-scale projects such as bridge construction. This study presents a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) of commonly used bridge infrastructure materials—including concrete, steel, and composite systems—across their entire lifespan from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Using ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards as the methodological foundation, the assessment evaluates global warming potential (GWP), embodied energy, and environmental toxicity across four bridge design scenarios. Data were collected from regional suppliers and international LCA databases to ensure accuracy and relevance. Results indicate that material selection significantly influences the overall carbon footprint and energy consumption of bridge structures. Steel-intensive designs showed higher GWP during production but offered advantages in recyclability, whereas concrete exhibited lower initial emissions but higher long-term maintenance impacts. Composite systems demonstrated potential for both structural efficiency and reduced environmental impact when optimized. The study emphasizes the importance of early-stage material decisions and supports the integration of LCA tools into bridge design workflows to enhance sustainability in civil infrastructure development.

Abstract

The demand for rapid, cost-effective, and sustainable infrastructure solutions has driven significant advancements in prefabricated concrete technology over the past decade. This study explores recent innovations in the design, production, and implementation of prefabricated concrete components within modern infrastructure projects, including bridges, buildings, and transportation systems. Emphasis is placed on modular construction techniques, high-performance materials, digital fabrication methods, and connection systems that enhance structural efficiency, durability, and construction speed. Case studies from urban infrastructure developments illustrate how prefabrication reduces construction time, minimizes on-site labor, improves quality control, and decreases environmental impact through material optimization and waste reduction. Furthermore, the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and automation in precast fabrication facilities has streamlined the design-to-production workflow, enabling greater precision and customization. The paper concludes that prefabricated concrete technology plays a pivotal role in addressing the growing infrastructure needs of rapidly urbanizing societies while supporting the global transition toward more sustainable construction practices.
