Experimental and Comparative Study of the Corrosion Behavior of Lean Duplex Stainless Steel in Seawater

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The localized corrosion behavior of lean duplex stainless steel EN 1.4062 is systematically compared with austenitic and higher‐alloyed duplex grades in natural seawater. A clear resistance ranking is established, highlighting EN 1.4062 as a cost‐effective alternative for limited marine exposure.

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...

Flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular beams with wood chip aggregate

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the flexural performance of concrete‐filled steel tubular (CFST) beams with partial replacement of aggregates by wood chips (0%–25%) through experimental and numerical analysis. This study is novel in that it experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural behavior of CFST beams with partial replacement of ...

Finite Element Study of Lightweight-Concrete-Filled Hollow-Flanged Cold-Formed Steel Beams Under Bending–Shear Interaction

Buildings
This study presents a comprehensive numerical investigation into the combined bending–shear behaviour of hollow-flanged cold-formed steel (HFCFS) beams filled with lightweight concrete (LWC). Although previous research has independently examined the pure

The effect of bent-up tab shear transfer enhancement shapes, angles and sizes in precast cold-formed steel-concrete composite beams [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, 2009
This paper deals with the evaluation of the effect of shapes, angles and sizes of bent-up tab shear transfer enhancement in precast cold-formed steel-concrete composite beams. The study is performed through push-out testing on 14 specimens. The push-out test has been employed to assess the shear strength as well as the behaviour of the shear transfer ...

Behavior of manufactured sand and recycled coarse aggregate concrete‐filled steel tubular stub columns with circular section

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Accelerated urbanization has intensified environmental concerns due to excessive natural resource consumption and construction waste generation. Circular concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) columns incorporating manufactured sand recycled coarse aggregate (MS‐RCA) concrete have emerged as an innovative composite element offering notable ...

Rotation capacity of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips revisited

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Rotation capacity is a key characteristic of statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures, as it (i) enables bending moment redistributions, whether intentionally introduced through optimized reinforcement layouts or arising from unforeseen self‐equilibrated stress states, and (ii) promotes large rotations at failure load, thereby ...

Assessment of the Effective Flange Width for Cold-Formed Steel-Timber Composite Beams: A Finite Element Study

Buildings
This paper proposes the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in conjunction with back-to-back cold-formed steel (CFS) channel or angle sections in combination with laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beam, for composite CFS-timber beams.

Testing and modeling reinforced 3D concrete printing

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) provides several advantages, including construction productivity and sustainability, although the presence of cold joints reduces structural performance, particularly in zones subjected to tensile stresses. In addition, it is difficult to reinforce 3DCP structures with conventional steel rebars, generally used to ...
