Study of the Dynamic Soil-Abutment-Superstructure Interaction for a Bridge Abutment

, 2017
The abutment is the part of a bridge that has a more significant dynamic interaction with the soil; the behaviour of the abutment is also influenced by the interaction with the superstructure, producing a reciprocal time-dependent exchange of inertial forces between them.

Automated Identification of Thermal Transitions in Conjugated Material Thin Films Using In Situ Optical Spectroscopy

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of in situ UV−vis coupled with automated data analysis, namely, ATLAS, for fast and reliable identification of multiple thermal transition in conjugated polymer thin films. This ATLAS method will significantly accelerate the understanding of the phase behavior of D‐A polymers with important implications for ...

Early use of the reinforced concrete in the architecture of the Historicism in Austria–Hungary

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The study examines the early incorporation of reinforced concrete in the architecture of Historicism in Austria–Hungary. Spanning the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the research illuminates the period's stylistic pluralism and the transformative impact of reinforced concrete.

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Large‐scale tests of 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete bridge girders

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An experimental investigation has been carried out as part of the BRIDGE|50 research project, focusing on large‐scale loading tests performed on five 50‐year‐old prestressed concrete (PC) girders. The study aimed at evaluating the structural response of five girders retrieved from a viaduct in the urban area of Turin, Italy, subjected to 4 ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Outcomes in Orbit‐Sparing Versus Orbit‐Sacrificing Surgery for Sinonasal Malignancies With Orbital Involvement: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sinonasal malignancies with orbital involvement may be managed with orbit‐sacrificing or orbit‐preserving surgical approaches, with a recent shift towards orbital preservation to reduce postoperative morbidity while maintaining oncological success.

Integrating multiple surveys using state–space models improves inference of population trends for Illinois furbearers

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term population monitoring is fundamental to wildlife population management. Furbearer populations are often surveyed using multiple methods, but many estimates of their abundance, especially abundance indices, do not account for detection error, and lead to conflicting interpretations of population trends.

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.
