The effect of construction joints on the flexural bending capacity of singly reinforced beams

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2016
The main purpose of conducting this study is to determine the difference in the bending capacity between a singly reinforced monolithic beam and a singly reinforced beam with a construction joint at the beam center, for a range of different compressive ...

Functional Disorder at the Neural Interface: How Disordered Nanostructures Promote Proper Growth and Differentiation in In Vitro Neural Cultures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work provides a practical guide for neuroengineers to design advanced neural interfaces, embracing and tailoring the concept of functional disorder. By bridging 2D and 3D in vitro models, this work highlights how non‐periodic, spatially heterogeneous, multiscale nanotopography can enable more physiologically relevant platforms for studying neural ...

Unveiling the flexural strength of corroded prestressed self compacting concrete beams enhanced with M-sand and polypropylene fibres

Scientific Reports
Prestressing steel corrosion is one of the barriers to the serviceability of prestressed concrete structures. The presence of aggressive environmental conditions leads to a reduction in the efficiency of the structures by degradation.

Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry for Quantifying Membrane Fouling: Fouling Layer Structure and Chemical Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (Nano SIMS) is established as a powerful analytical tool to visualize and quantify the membrane fouling layers. ABSTRACT Membrane technology has garnered considerable attention for applications in wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Nevertheless, membrane fouling remains a major barrier, yet the lack of

Strength Behavior of Pumice Stone Lightweight Concrete Beam in Contrast with Reinforced Concrete Beam

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2019
The density of concrete less than that of nominal concrete achieved by any means is referred as Light weight concrete. Circulated air through Concrete, Light Weight Aggregate Concrete, Foamed Concrete are different types of Light weight concrete. In this research study, the density of the concrete has been reduced by replacing the coarse aggregate by ...

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Flexural capacity of beam-to-column joints with external diaphragm considering the slab effect

工程科学学报, 2019
The existence of concrete slab has significant influence on the local mechanical characteristic of the beam-to-column joint. In the design of beam-to-column joints, if the composite effects of steel beam and concrete slab are considered particularly as ...

Stem Cell Differentiation Disperses Transcriptional Clusters via a Conserved Surface‐Condensate Trajectory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation follows a conserved surface condensate trajectory: H3K27ac super enhancers nucleate large RNA polymerase II clusters that grow and unfold before transcriptional activity disperses them. This work reveals how biophysical forces at enhancer surfaces dynamically build and dismantle stem cell transcription hubs, reshaping cell ...

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses
