Sustainability is crucial in the design and management of residential complexes, as assessing the sustainability of them can contribute to improving the quality of life for residents while minimizing the environmental impact. Despite its importance, numerous challenges affect the sustainability of residential complexes, such as unsustainable urban planning, the cost of environmental technology, consumer culture, social and cultural challenges, as well as waste management and pollution.This research evaluates the extent to which residential complexes can achieve long-term sustainability, in terms of environmental sustainability. This requires a comprehensive analysis of various aspects and indicators such as the availability of sustainable design, appropriate infrastructure, energy and water efficiency in buildings, in addition to the availability of green spaces, and access to sustainable transportation modes. They all aim to improve the quality of life for residents and minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings.In evaluating the current situation of residential complexes, the application of the LEED scale with its five indicators (energy, water, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, site selection) is immensely useful. In this research, this scale is applied to a selected residential complex in the Bismayah City in Baghdad, Iraq. It utilizes a descriptive analytical approach for the selected complex. It also ascertains residents' opinions, to assess the reality of sustainability in the Bismayah residential city.The paper thus highlights the gaps, and proposes planning and design treatments to achieve integrated environmental sustainability. The findings indicate a widespread consensus regarding the significance of elements associated with intelligent location and connectivity, neighborhood design, green infrastructure and architectural aspects, and innovative practices in neighborhood development. They manifest at differing degrees of neutrality and reservations, thereby reflecting a nuanced perspective on these facets of urban planning.

“…Because of durability it has been proposed to replace steel members by fiber composite ones. This substitution may allow easier and quicker building procedures that led to the workers' welfare and economic savings [13], [14]. These benefits would enable residential buildings to use the composite floor structure and make it more effective in manufacturing applications [15], [16].…”

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have been broadly applied in substitution of steel members at rehabilitation interventions thanks to their lightweight, high strength, and high corrosion resistance. Producing novel FRP-concrete hybrid structures is the next step researchers are dealing with. In this context, the present study focuses on the numerical and analytical modeling of the experimentally obtained response of hybrid FRP-concrete slabs subjected to three points bending tests. The analyzed hybrid elements consisted of an omega shape Carbon Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheet on which a concrete layer was cast forming a unidirectional slab member. A Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) fabric was bonded to the CFRP sheet and embedded into the concrete block to provide a connection between CFRP and concrete in one of the specimens. Simulation results showed agreement with the experimental response in terms of load-displacement curve, concrete plastic strain and failure mode. After validating the model, alternative designs (width, height, and thickness of CFRP sheet and concrete block on it) were numerically tested to study the influence of the geometry of the structural system on the load-bearing capacity. Lastly, analytical formulation assuming total compatibility and based on Euler-Bernoulli theory were implemented and contrasted with the experimental response. Overall results pointed out that the optimum design would be the one with increased height of both concrete and CFRP. For this improved configuration, the load-bearing capacity was increased by up to 44%.

Seismic Strengthening offers a cost-effective and sustainable solution for constructing bridges in seismic zones. In these rehabilitation interventions, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are often used instead of steel members due to their lightweight nature, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. Researchers are now focusing on creating innovative FRP-concrete hybrid structures. This study specifically investigates the numerical modeling of the response of a hybrid FRP-concrete jacket bridge pier subjected to quasi-static tests. The Finite Element Method (FEM) results demonstrated a significant correlation with the experimental response, particularly in terms of the load-displacement curve failure mode. Once the model was validated, various alternative designs were numerically tested to evaluate the impact of each model on the load-bearing capacity. These designs included altering the height of the CFRP sheet, adjusting the height and congestion of the CFRP bar, and comparing the performance of the concrete jacket with and without the CFRP sheet. After reinforcing the CFRP sheets and incorporating Near-Surface-Mounted (NSM)-CFRP bars, the reinforcement system, along with the new concrete jacket, effectively transferred the integrity of the broken pier area and maintained a constant load-bearing capacity for the bridge pier. However, when the CFRP sheet was added to the aforementioned system, the load capacity of the bridge pier increased by more than 60%. Therefore, it can be concluded that seismic enhancement techniques utilizing CFRP sheets and mounted NSM-CFRP bars are successful in enhancing the strength and resilience of the concrete bridge pier.
