Bond Stress-Slip Prediction under Pullout and Dowel Action in Reinforced Concrete Joints [PDF]
When analyzing reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures under monotonic loading—for example, progressive collapse and pushover analysis—besides flexural deformation, the so-called “fixed end” rotations induced by longitudinal bar slips at the beamcolumn ends connected to the joints can be significant and may result in additional vertical deformations

Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots
Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.

The Effective Width in Composite Steel Concrete Beams at Ultimate Loads
A composite section is made up of a concrete slab attached to a steel beam by means of shear connectors. Under positive and negative bending moment, part of the slab will act as a flange of the beam, resisting the longitudinal compression or tension ...

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...
