  2. The Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) is one of the most important transportation corridors in Canada, connecting the nation’s east and west. However, it has raised environmental concerns as the corridor bisects the Banff National Park (BNP), fragmenting the habitats of wildlife population and acting as a barrier to natural movements in the park.

  3. The Green Corridors project in Medellin, Colombia, aims to tackle urban environmental challenges, particularly the urban heat island effect and high levels of air pollution, which are exacerbated by heavy motorbike traffic and extensive concrete surfaces in public spaces. The project focuses on improving air quality, cooling temperatures, and enhancing the city’s green infrastructure. This initiative is part of a larger effort titled "A Greener Medellín for You," aiming to make Medellin a more attractive, sustainable, and livable city.

  5. Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) are materials that, when combined with Portland cement, enhance the properties of concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic reactions. These materials can be industrial by-products, such as fly ash or slag, or naturally occurring substances, like volcanic ash. SCMs are used to partially replace cement in concrete mixtures, reducing the environmental impact of cement production while improving the performance and durability of concrete.

    The water/cement (w/c) ratio is one of the most crucial factors affecting the strength, durability, and overall quality of concrete. It represents the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix. Controlling this ratio is essential to achieving desired concrete properties for construction applications.

     

    In engineering practice, the strength of concrete at a specified age, when cured under controlled temperature conditions, is generally considered to be primarily influenced by two key factors: the water/cement ratio and the degree of compaction. When concrete is fully compacted, its strength is assumed to be inversely proportional to the water/cement ratio. This relationship was first articulated by Duff Abrams in 1919, initially described as a law but more accurately regarded as an empirical rule. He formulated stre

  7. Noise pollution has become a significant concern in modern urban and suburban environments, especially along busy highways where constant traffic generates high levels of sound emissions. To mitigate the impact of this noise on nearby communities, noise barriers have been developed and widely implemented. These structures serve as a critical component in managing noise pollution, ensuring that residents living near highways experience a reduced impact from traffic noise.

  10. Ekskavator adalah alat yang berfungsi untuk menggali, memindahkan, dan meratakan tanah. Sekopnya yang bergerigi akan menancap ke tanah. Kemudian, sekop tersebut akan mengeruknya dan menuangkannya ke dalam dump truck (Bingham, Caroline, 2005). Selain itu, ekskavator juga bisa membuat kemiringan, memecahkan batu, memindahkan material, dan sebagainya (Adinata, Hasrudi, 2018). Dengan bucket-nya, ekskavator dapat menggali tanah untuk membuat lubang, parit, dan pondasi.
