Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 3309-3324, June 2026.
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

Innovative development and structural behavior of hollow columns using inflatable molds

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 3786-3805, June 2026.
Abstract This study introduces a novel approach for constructing hollow columns using precast (PC) methods enhanced by inflatable air tubes as internal molds. The proposed method addresses practical challenges in conventional hollow column construction, such as limited constructability, high production cost, and interference between internal molds and ...

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 600-634, June 2026.
This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...

The Local Scour Impact Around a Cylindrical Bridge Pier for Two Different Abutment Models

Journal of Studies in Science and Engineering
Local scour, the erosion of sediment around hydraulic structures caused by flowing water, is a major factor contributing to bridge failure, particularly near piers and abutments.

3DNumerical Simulation of Hydrodynamic Parameters around the Bridge Piers Using Various Turbulence Models [PDF]

علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2015
In present study, the near-wake flow around the bridge piers of a circular section has been numerically analyzed. Numerical simulation was carried out using Fluent, and the numerical results were verified by the different researchers' experimental and ...

The effect of slot in reducing scour depth of cylindrical bridge pier using Flow3D software [PDF]

Journal of Hydraulic Structures
Scouring is one of the most important factors in the destruction of bridge piers. One of the ways to reduce scouring depth is to use a slot in the bridge pier.

A New 3D Colon on a Chip to Decipher the Influence of Mechanical Forces on the Physiological Cellular Ecosystem

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 17, 8 May 2026.
To dissect how mechanical forces influence intestinal physiology, we developed a stretchable 3D colon‐on‐chip that integrates tunable topography, stiffness and peristalsis‐like motion within a physiologically relevant microenvironment. We showed that stretching is a dominant factor governing epithelial behavior, markedly enhancing proliferation and ...

Assessing the Spatiotemporal Variability in Geotechnical Sediment Properties of Beach Cusps on a Sandy Beach

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Husbandry of Newly Born Endangered White's Seahorse, Hippocampus whitei, for Conservation Stocking

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Conservation stocking programmes have been increasingly used to reverse wildlife population declines; however, the success of such programmes can often depend on the number and fitness of animals translocated or released. The White's seahorse Hippocampus whitei is an endangered seahorse species endemic to eastern Australia, where a ...

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 907-925, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...
