The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season severely tested the structural resilience of Florida’s buildings through three major storms: Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Helene, and Hurricane Milton. This paper examines the structural performance of buildings in Florida during these events, drawing on post-storm assessments conducted by FEMA, NOAA, NIST, and ASCE. The results indicate that modern, code-compliant structures generally withstood design wind and st…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming digital marketing and brand-building practices.

We adopt a formal qualitative analysis with multiple case studies (Coca-Cola, Nike, Netflix, and Starbucks) to illustrate the practical use of AI …
Bridges worldwide are aging while the loads they carry continue to increase, making the monitoring of structural condition a critical engineering challenge. Traditional visual inspections conducted at annual or multiannual intervals remain useful but are insufficient for the early detection of corrosion processes and microcracks that may compromise structural integrity. This article examines modern approaches to bridge condition monitoring that a…
The object of this study is the application of digital twins in buildings across different stages of the lifecycle, including design, construction, and operation of residential and commercial properties. The purpose of the research is to summarize international experience in implementing digital twin technologies in the construction industry and to assess their impact on building performance and sustainability. The methodology is based on a compa…
Construction project schedules often fail to account for regional risk factors such as weather variations, local holidays, state specific building codes, and labor market conditions. This paper presents Bildry, a Gantt chart based planning system that integrates these regional risk data across United States states to improve resource estimation and schedule reliability. The problem addressed is the high incidence of schedule delays and manual adj…
