Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

Effect of Temperature Variation on Rigid Pavement Dowel [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil EngineeringGiven its location along the equator, Indonesia has a tropical climate with two rainy and dry seasons. The significant variations in temperature that each season brings about are important factors when building civil engineering projects, including rigid

Predicting Behavior of Grouted Dowel Connections Using Interfacial Cohesive Elements
Applied Sciences, 2019 Grouted dowel connections are used extensively in precast load bearing walls owing to their simple construction and forgiving tolerances. Current design guidelines do not adequately consider the composite nature of such connections.

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...
