Energy conservation in buildings has been the focus of many studies since nearly one-third of global energy consumption is due to buildings. Phase change material (PCM) technology promises to be an attractive solution for energy saving in buildings since...

Karst basins have a relatively low capacity for water retention, rendering them very vulnerable to drought hazards. However, karst geo-climatic features are highly spatially heterogeneous, making reliable drought assessment challenging. To account for ge...

There is currently much discussion as to whether probabilistic (top?down) or possibilistic (bottom?up) approaches are the most appropriate to estimate potential future climate impacts. In a context of deep uncertainty, such as future climate, bottom-up a...

In this study, Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) are proposed to model the relationships between factors contributing to pavement deterioration, where their values are probabilistically estimated based on their interdependencies. Such probabilistic inferenc...

The variability found in real structures is a function of the ?intrinsic? variability of the material itself, of its aging with time and of the external climatic conditions, and, therefore, it is normal that the chloride threshold and the corrosion rates...

Flood mitigation in low-gradient, tidally-influenced, and rapidly urbanizing coastal locations remains a priority across a range of stakeholders and communities. Wetland ecosystems act as a natural flood buffer for coastal storms and sea level rise (SLR)...
