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.

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
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 ...

Substrate-dependent hardness and adhesion of nano-grained aluminosilicate films by dry aerosol deposition

Academia Nano
This study explores the fabrication of nanoscale, fine-grained aluminosilicate thick films using dry aerosol deposition (DAD) and investigates how substrate hardness influences film evolution, morphology, and mechanical performance.

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
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

A unified RVE-based mesoscale framework for predicting mechanical performance of conventional cement concrete and recycled aggregate slag-dolomite geopolymer concrete

Scientific Reports
Concrete is inherently heterogeneous but is often modelled as homogeneous at the macroscale for simplicity. Accurately representing this heterogeneity using mesoscopic modelling minimises reliance on extensive laboratory testing, enables efficient ...

Structural behavior of small square steel tubes reinforced self‐compacting concrete columns under biaxial eccentric loads

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
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.

Fracture‐mechanical numerical simulation of punching in reinforced concrete foundations considering soil‐structure interaction and design code evaluation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Current design provisions for punching shear in foundations, including Eurocode 2 (2023) and fib Model Code 2020, are mechanically based models partly calibrated against experimental data from isolated flat slabs and foundation specimens. The available experimental database for foundations is small and only partly representative of realistic ...

Improving fatigue resistance of translucent 4Y‐PSZ zirconia through glass gradation

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
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).

Axial and Biaxial Fatigue Behavior of 6061‐T651 Cold Metal Transfer Welded Joints

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aluminum structures in transportation systems are increasingly exposed to complex service loading, yet the fatigue performance of welded joints is still predominantly assessed using uniaxial data. In this work, the axial and biaxial fatigue behavior of 6061‐T651 aluminum alloy joints produced by cold metal transfer (CMT) welding is
