A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Experimental Study for Punching Shear Behavior in RC Flat Plate with Hybrid High Strength Concrete

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2013
This Paper is conducted to investigate experimentally the punching shear behavior of hybrid flat plate. Five slab specimens with (1000x1000x70) mm dimensions have been tested, two of which have been made fully with High Strength Concrete and Steel Fiber

Tuning the Electronic Structure and Spin State of Fe─N─C Catalysts Using an Axial Oxygen Ligand and Fe Clusters for High‐Efficiency Rechargeable Zinc–Air Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A FeN4─O/Clu@NC‐0.1Ac catalyst containing atomically‐dispersed FeN4─O sites (medium‐spin Fe2+) and Fe clusters delivered a half‐wave potential of 0.89 V for ORR and an overpotential of 330 mV at 10 mA cm−2 for OER in 0.1 m KOH. When the catalyst was used in a rechargeable Zn–air battery, a power density of 284.5 mW cm−2 was achieved with excellent ...

Finite Element Investigation on Shear Lag in Composite Concrete-Steel Beams with Web Openings

Journal of Engineering, 2015
In this paper, effective slab width for the composite beams is investigated with special emphasis on the effect of web openings. A three dimensional finite element analysis, by using finite element code ANSYS, is employed to investigate shear lag ...

The Effect of Interface Damage between Slab and Mortar Layer on the Dynamic Performances of Vehicle and Track Systems under the High Frequency Train Loads

Applied Sciences, 2022
To investigate the influences of through-transverse mortar disengagement with different lengths and heights on the dynamic responses of vehicle and track systems under the high frequency train loads, a coupled rigid vehicle–flexible track multi-body ...

Contact Lens with Moiré Patterns for High‐Precision Eye Tracking

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a passive contact lens for high‐precision eye tracking, integrating a microscopic moiré grating label. The parallax‐induced shift of macroscopic moiré patterns enables angle measurement with 0.28° precision using a standard camera under ambient light.

Fatigue Assessment of Prestressed Concrete Slab-Between-Girder Bridges

Applied Sciences, 2019
In the Netherlands, the assessment of existing prestressed concrete slab-between-girder bridges has revealed that the thin, transversely prestressed slabs may be critical for static and fatigue punching when evaluated using the recently introduced ...

Experimental investigation of punching shear behaviour of ultra-high performance self-compacting concrete slabs

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
The use of heavy reinforced and thick transfer-slab in multipurpose tall buildings is crucial to dealing with many issues such as high bending and punching shear stresses created from relocation of columns in floors above transfer-slab.

Photoconductivity‐Driven Quantum Efficiency Gain in Inorganic Ruddlesden‐Popper Layered Cs2PbBr2I2 Perovskite Photodetector for Visible Light Detection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Rational halogen mixing strategy was employed to shift the bandgap of Cs2PbBr2I2 from ultraviolet to visible region, enabling first realization of a visible‐light photodetector with this 2D layered Ruddlesden‐Popper perovskite material. Under illumination, light‐induced internal field forms and drives trap‐mediated persistent photoconductivity ...

Self‐Refreshing Bi‐Based Active Sites for Efficient and Durable Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐refreshing Bi‐based catalyst is developed through the fabrication of a novel basic bismuth nitrate pre‐catalyst, which exhibits differential active sites of Bi2O2CO3 at low potentials and metallic Bi phases at high potentials, self‐repairing capability, and thus wide‐potential‐window efficiency and ultralong durability toward electrochemical CO2
