Assessment of cracking performance in edge restrained RC walls

Structural Concrete, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 1333-1352, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Excessive cracking due to restraint of thermal and shrinkage strains is a widespread problem in the concrete construction industry. In design, restraint induced cracking is managed by the provision of reinforcement intended to distribute internal strains in such a way as to control the cracking pattern and limit crack widths.

Comparative Assessment and Experimental Validation of a Prototype Phase‐Optical Time‐Domain Reflectometer for Distributed Structural Health Monitoring

Journal of Sensors, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Dynamic characterization and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) are crucial tools, of increasing demand, for reliable operation and predictive maintenance of large infrastructures, as the percentage of critically ageing infrastructures is growing steadily.

Experimental study on demountable shear connectors in profiled composite slabs

Proceedings 12th international conference on Advances in Steel-Concrete Composite Structures - ASCCS 2018, 2018
This paper presents an experimental study on demountable shear connectors in profiled composite slabs. Overall, three groups of push-off tests were conducted to assess the shear capacity, stiffness and ductility of the shear connectors. In all the specimens, a pair of shear studs were used per trough and were bolted to each side of the flange of a ...

Shear performance of single embedded nut bolted shear connectors in precast steel–UHPC composite beams under combined tension-shear loads

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Steel-ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) composite beams employing single embedded nut bolted shear connectors (SENBs) in full-depth precast concrete deck systems represent a competition attempt in recent years, which can fully utilize the ...

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN OF DEMOUNTABLE CONNECTION FOR 3D MODULAR CONSTRUCTION

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 322-331, April 2026.
Abstract Modular construction is experiencing an expansion in recent years as the need to integrate sustainability into the lifecycle of buildings becomes a key factor for engineering projects. The (i) reduced construction waste and recyclability of structural components over traditional building systems, (ii) rapid assembly with demountable capability

Flexural Behavior of New Demountable Steel–Concrete Composite Beam with Novel Demountable Connectors

Buildings
This study proposes a novel type of demountable steel–concrete composite beam (the slab is connected to the steel beam by T-shaped shear connectors, TCBs) to address the limitations of traditional composite beams, including difficulties in disassembly ...

Experimental analysis of bolted connections for precast concrete walls under cyclic tensile loading

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 2309-2327, April 2026.
Abstract Dry‐bolted connections in precast wall structures simplify the assembly process and offer significant advantages in terms of construction speed and cost. In fact, the reduction of the required workmanship, compared to wet connections, makes this solution highly competitive.

Performances of Steel-Concrete Composite Construction with Demountable Shear Connectors – Review

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract Composite steel-concrete constructions with demountable (bolted) have the prime privilege of the capability to be untied and taken to pieces, furthermore, they remain suitable for tying again to assemble efficient composite structures. Long-term behavior and durability issues may need replacement of concrete slabs or their parts

Fluorescent β‐Sheet‐Based Peptide Hydrogels with Aggregation‐Enhanced Emission Properties

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 34, September 23, 2025.
Fluorescent hydrogels from 1,8‐naphtalimide‐based peptides are designed and characterized; the materials are injectable and present enhanced emission upon β‐sheet formation. Novel fluorescent peptide hydrogels are reported by combining 1,8‐naphthalimide‐derived amino acids with a previously developed peptide‐based controlled drug release matrix ...

Metal Ion–Induced Cross‐Linking in Mucin‐Inspired Peptide Hydrogels

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Short fiber‐forming peptides were modified by histidine substitution and mannose or galactose attachment and combined with different metal ions. Although no generalizable trends were observed, Lys to His substitution at position 25 with galactose in the presence of copper produced a species with highly favorable viscoelastic properties.
