Experimental study on the impact of traffic‐induced vibrations on early‐age concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The COUNT (Concreting under Traffic) research project systematically examined the effects of traffic‐induced vibrations on early‐age, hardening concrete—a critical issue for bridge construction and renovation. Traffic closures are often imposed during such projects to mitigate potential damage from vibrations.

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 ...

Addressing Complexity in System of Systems With GraphRAG: An AI‐Driven Framework for Dynamic Data Integration

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT System of Systems (SoS) environments are inherently complex, involving numerous operationally and managerially independent component systems with hidden interdependencies and frequent interactions based on unstructured data. In this paper, we propose using graphical Retrieval‐Augmented Generation (GraphRAG), a tool that combines large language

Systematic Learning and Pedagogy Through a Modular, Progressive‐Based Simulation Modeling Framework for Complex Systems

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart Transportation Systems (SmTS) will exceed complex systems with their classification as complex, sociotechnical, and AI‐based systems. Possessing a toolkit that helps systemically understand, analyze, and assess these systems will be advantageous in the early stages of the systems engineering (SE) lifecycle, and Agent Based Models (ABMs ...

“I Own My Life Now”: Implications of Trauma Survivors' Language Acquisition for a Pedagogy of Empowerment in TESOL

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the language experiences of refugees and asylum seekers who survived sex trafficking, domestic slavery, and sexuality‐based persecution. Drawing on a longitudinal study of 15 respondents followed across two time points separated by 6 years, all members of an England‐based therapeutic community, we focus here on four ...
