The first volume of the three-volume set explores architectural design theory, urban planning, city and regional development, building materials, and renewable energy. Three papers from Anna University study the behavior of confined polyolefin fiber reinforced concrete under monotonic compression and repeated axial compression. Volume two collects research on energy efficiency, environmental engineering, environmental protection, mass transportation planning and construction, and ITS theory. The final volume addresses logistics optimization, traffic control, urban transportation management, and vehicle engineering. Three papers from Beijing Jiaotong University analyze logistics reorganization of supermarket chains based on agriculture super docking, the factors driving port logistics development, and the layout of chemical logistics parks.
