Integrating Computational Thinking Into Immersive Construction Education: A Framework for VR‐Based Learning

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The rise of automation and robotics in construction demands educational shifts to develop core cognitive skills like computational thinking (CT). However, current learning environments often lack hands‐on, iterative problem‐solving opportunities due to safety, cost, and logistical constraints.

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
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

Low‐Cost Friction‐Based Force‐Limiting Connection With Reduced Sensitivity to Machining Tolerances and Accelerated Repairability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1270-1291, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Dynamic analysis of the simultaneous movement of the jib lifting and crane turning mechanisms

Strength of Materials and Theory of Structures
Ефективність роботи стрілових кранів в значній мірі залежить від підвищення їхньої продуктивності при виконанні навантажувальних, розвантажувальних та монтажних операцій. Підвищення продуктивності стрілових кранів досягається за рахунок здійснення одночасної роботи окремих механізмів.

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 644-666, May 2026.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...

Decouplement: Commodity Geography of the Corpse

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the commodification of the human corpse from the point of view of its disposal. Whilst offering some analysis on the circulation and harvesting of repurposed human tissues, existing literature does not discuss how these are discarded.
