To avoid an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, a depletion of resources, and waste accumulation, structural engineers have a major role to play in low carbon structural design. For example, cement- based materials represent one-third of all materials ex ...
In light of the environmental consequences of linear production and consumption processes, the circular economy (CE) is gaining momentum as a concept and practice, promoting closed material cycles by focusing on multiple strategies from material recycling ...
Deployable structures belong to a special class of moveable structures that are capable of form and size change. Controlling movement of deployable structures is important for successful deployment, in-service adaptation and safety. In this paper, measurem ...
