Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams
Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

The Front‐End of Circular Innovation in Incumbent Firms
ABSTRACT The Circular Economy introduces ambiguity and complexity when developing products and services, by using materials and resources differently; innovations and related business models thus deviate markedly from those evident in the “linear economy”.

ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Surface functionalization of polypropylene macrofibers to enhance fiber‐matrix interfacial bonding. ABSTRACT Concrete is the most used higher compressive strength‐building material, albeit brittle to tensile, and flexural loads. Polypropylene (PP) synthetic polymeric macrofibres are commonly employed as reinforcement material to prevent this situation ...

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of
