Application to the Aurangabad interlinking flyover project achieved cost savings of 8–12%, environmental impact reductions of 15–25%, and material efficiency improvements of 20–30%. Soil bearing capacity and traffic volume accounted for 58% of cost variance.DiscussionThe integration of surrogate modeling and multi-algorithm optimization advances sustainable infrastructure design by providing robust, reproducible, and evidence-based solutions. This framework demonstrates practical relevance for balancing economic viability, structural adequacy, and environmental responsibility in urban flyover development.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2026.1853315 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2026.1853315 <![CDATA[Elastoplastic time-history analysis of prefabricated SRC frame structures in multi-floored grain warehouses]]> 2026-06-04T00:00:00Z Original Research Qiang LiYonggang DingGuoqi RenQikeng XuZhenhua Xu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2026.1829487 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2026.1829487 <![CDATA[Flexural and shear performance of concrete beams reinforced with macroscopic carbon nanotubes using finite element modelling]]> 2026-05-26T00:00:00Z Original Research Deborah Wadzani DaudaRamesh Babu ChandranDeepak Kumar Soni https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2026.1811594 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbuil.2026.1811594 <![CDATA[Comparative evaluation of supervised machine learning models in the non-destructive strength prediction of steel fiber reinforced concrete]]> 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z Original Research P.
