Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints
Abstract This study presents a kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear strength of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints without transverse reinforcement. The proposed framework is built on first principles—kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relations—and explicitly models discrete cracks by introducing kinematic parameters such

Abstract In this study, the structural behavior of small square steel tube‐reinforced self‐compacting concrete (SSTR‐SCC) columns is investigated under symmetric and asymmetric biaxial eccentric loads. Twelve specimens were cast and tested under biaxial eccentric loads.

Uncovering hidden bias in neutron diffraction residual strain measurements
This work demonstrates that diffraction‐based residual strain calculations and uncertainty estimates depend on how grain populations are sub‐sampled, with important implications for interpreting residual stresses in heterogeneous materials with fine‐scale microstructure and strain gradients.When calculating residual strain via neutron or X‐ray ...

Improving fatigue resistance of translucent 4Y‐PSZ zirconia through glass gradation
Abstract To evaluate the effect of graded glass infiltration on the fatigue behavior and mechanical reliability of translucent 4Y‐PSZ zirconia before and after hydrothermal aging, disc‐shaped specimens were fabricated by uniaxial pressing and divided into control and glass‐graded groups (n = 36/group).

ABSTRACT Objective Comparison of the load‐bearing capacity and failure pattern of posterior resin‐bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) differing in retainer design, zirconia material, and vertical nesting position. Materials and Methods RBFPDs replacing a maxillary first molar were fabricated with 2 retainer designs (inlay‐retained, IR; wing‐retained,

Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...
