Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on article withdrawal ( https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal ). Post-publication, an investigation conducted by the editors identified concerns regarding Figure 7f, which could not be resolved with the available data. Furthermore, the affiliation of Dr Mohsen Taghavijeloudar with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University (SNU), was questioned and the justification supplied was not accepted by the journal. The current head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at SNU was consulted on the matter, and the documentation subsequently provided by the author was reviewed but did not meet the publisher's evidentiary threshold for confirming eligibility for the listed affiliation. The investigation concluded that the affiliation of Mohsen Taghavijeloudar was not proven as the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Seoul National University. Apologies are offered to readers for any confusion or inconvenience caused.
