Rectangular Stress Block for High-Strength Concrete

open access: yes, 2004
© Copyright 2004, American Concrete InstituteThe use of high-strength concrete (HSC), with strengths reaching 130 MPa, has increased in recent years due to its superior performance and strength.

Hybrid Approaches Towards 3D Concrete Printing for Lightweight Reinforced Concrete Structures [PDF]

open access: yes
3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) has paid little attention to producing material-efficient parts. Material optimization methods, such as topology optimization, often result in forms with complex geometries—extreme overhangs and multi-branching—that are ...

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Thermal effect of mass concrete structures in the tropics: Experimental, modelling and parametric studies

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2017
This paper is an experimental investigation and analytical simulation of thermal effects on mass concrete structures in the tropics. A study of the temperature rise of a 1.1 m × 1.1 m × 1.1 m experimental mass concrete block, well instrumented with ...

Non-linear behaviour under compression of hardened 3D-printed concrete [PDF]

open access: yes
3D-printed concrete (3DPC) is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to offer rapid construction, flexibility in design, reduced labour and material costs, and eco-friendliness as it uses waste materials like plastics and resins.

Eutectic Gallium‐Indium as a Potential Non‐Toxic Replacement in Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A practical alternative to mercury intrusion porosimetry is presented using non‐oxidized eutectic gallium‐indium. An eGaIn Filling Station enables oxygen‐free preparation of standard penetrometers, and the resulting measurements faithfully reproduce pore‐size distributions and intrusion volumes measured with mercury across several standard reference ...

Hydro‐ and Lipophilicity of Molecular‐Size‐Controlled Hydrogel Drug Carriers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We investigate nano‐sized hydrogel drug carriers with tailored hydro‐ and lipophilicity. We design their encapsulation and structure‐forming capabilities and follow them in real time during fabrication using time‐resolved and in situ grazing incidence x‐ray scattering.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
