Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Study of Low-Content Epoxy Asphalt Mixture Applied to the Road

open access: yesBuildings
To realize the application of epoxy asphalt concrete on roads and solve the problem of the high cost of epoxy asphalt concrete and the causes of bulging in the construction process, a low-content epoxy asphalt mixture was experimentally studied ...

A probabilistic framework for modeling chloride‐induced corrosion and related load‐deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

Design of Large Stone Asphalt Mixes to Minimize Rutting [PDF]

open access: yes
Rutting of heavy duty asphalt pavements has been increasingly experienced in recent years. This phenomenon is primarily resulting from high tire pressures and increased wheel loads.

Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

Fatigue Behavior of Modified Asphalt Concrete Pavement

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, 2016
Fatigue cracking is the most common distress in road pavement. It is mainly due to the increase in the number of load repetition of vehicles, particularly those with high axle loads, and to the environmental conditions.

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...
