Refined Finite Element Analysis of Shrinkage and Creep in External Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Beams

open access: yesZhongwai Gonglu
To accurately analyze the shrinkage and creep effects in external prestressed reinforced concrete beams, a method was proposed for analyzing the shrinkage and creep of such beams based on refined finite element analysis.

Fracture of the Passive Film on Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Under Mechanical Loading

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Bending load induces a flexural crack in reinforced concrete specimen. Above the critical load inducing crack, a macro cell corrosion current is recorded by steel coupons embedded in the concrete. The macro cell current corresponds to the rupture of the passive film. ABSTRACT This study investigates the fracture of the passive film on reinforcing steel

Convergence of Organ‐on‐a‐Chip and Freeform Printing of Sacrificial Poly(2‐cyclopropyl‐2‐oxazoline) Enables the Generation of Perfusable Endothelialized Channels in Hydrogels

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We employ freeform printing of thermo‐responsive poly(2‐oxazoline) to directly fabricate suspended sacrificial vascular templates within Organ‐on‐a‐chip devices. This enables circular, perfusable channels down to 200 µm without post‐processing.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System

open access: yesMedicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

Anisotropic Initial Damage and Its Effect on Tensile Response of Plain Concrete

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage is often described as isotropic, implying that a scalar value describes its initial state. However, the prior micro‐cracking pattern at points of an existing building, that is, the initial damage, may be oriented by a preload. The degradation of the Volume Element due to oriented preloads shall be described as anisotropic and ...

Task 4: Testing Iowa Portland Cement Concrete Mixtures for the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Procedure, May 2008

open access: yes, 2008
The present research project was designed to identify the typical Iowa material input values that are required by the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for the Level 3 concrete pavement design.

Investigation of the flexural properties of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by externally bonded steel plates. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
It is sometimes necessary to strengthen in situ concrete structures. Externally bonded plate reinforcement has been successfully applied to structures with subsequent satisfactory performance.

Polymaterial Lattice Discrete Particle Model for the Optimization of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete: Intragranular Fracture and Compression Behavior

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.
