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.

Configuring the algorithm of the load limiter with intermediate threshold [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The problem of low quality of the operation of load capacity limiters is revealed due to incorrect tuning of its algorithm parameters. The technique of determining the parameters of the algorithm with an intermediate threshold is developed.

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.

Holding a wing horizontal: Roles for muscles of the pectoral girdle other than the main two flight muscles

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 830-842, May 2026.
This report explores which muscles of the pectoral girdle are employed to allow birds to hold their wings horizontally with a level aerofoil surface during a glide. Abstract Whilst many birds glide briefly with wings held horizontally, some species maintain this posture for extended periods during soaring.

Stochastic Optimization of Non‐Convex Component Solution Spaces

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
ABSTRACT In systems engineering, solution spaces provide a practical way to reconcile competing goals by working with sets of good designs instead of point‐based solutions. Earlier contributions, however, were restricted either by limiting the dimensionality per component or, more recently, by constraining these spaces to be convex, which can, in some ...
