Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Simple and detailed modeling of corrosion‐affected slender shear critical RC beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of steel bars compromises both the safety and the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Consequently, reliable tools are required to estimate the detrimental effects of corrosion on the structural response of RC members subjected to transverse loads.

Normalizing the Shamed Self: Stigma, Neutralization and “Narrative Credibility” in Interviews on White‐Collar Transgression

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
In this article, I analyze my interviews with Mark (pseudonym), a social scientist who committed major academic fraud in over 50 top‐tier journal articles in the first decade of this century. I explain how stigma played a central role in how Mark and I shaped our interaction. I focus on how Mark, a former Professor and Dean with a distinguished career,

Predicting the Regioselectivity of Mechanochemical Bond Scission in Complex Molecules

open access: yesTransformative Chemistry, EarlyView.
Covalent‐bond peak force network (CBPFNet), a physics‐informed graph attention framework, predicts mechanochemical bond scission regioselectivity directly from equilibrium structures with DFT‐level accuracy. By uncovering the ‘stiffness mismatch’ mechanism, this work enables the rational design of programmable mechanical fuses for next‐generation ...
