Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Compressive Interface Stress on Interfaces in Reinforced Concrete Elements under Cyclic Action

Applied Sciences
Reinforced concrete interfaces, either cracks within monolithic elements or joints between concretes cast at different times may become critical under cyclic actions, due to stiffness and interface resistance degradation.

High‐Resolution Regional Seismic Loss Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Using Component‐Level Fragility Models and Repair Cost Estimations

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 301-318, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...

Micrography and XRF Techniques to Investigate Protohistoric Gold Artifacts: The Case of Roca Vecchia (Lecce, Italy)

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 51-63, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Protohistoric gold findings from the archaeological site of Roca Vecchia (Melendugno, Lecce, Italy) are analyzed involving micrography and stratified XRF analysis. This exploitation allows to get a deeper insight into ancient gold manufacturing and wear processes adopted in the Southern Italian FBA.

Dual‐mode strategy for sintering‐stability and bonding of SLA additively manufactured ceramic green bodies

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study introduces a dual‐mode green‐state strategy for stereolithography‐based ceramic additive manufacturing. In the first mode, UV‐curable resin‐assisted bonding enables the assembly of monolithic ceramic architectures, expanding design freedom.

Entangled Multistable Origami with Reprogrammable Stiffness Amplification and Damping

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 5, 15 January 2026.
This study introduces a class of origami‐inspired metamaterials that overcome the limitations of existing multistable metamaterials by eliminating the need for rigid lateral confinements. Panel entanglement, snap‐through interactions, and instabilities synergy enable them to achieve extensive shape‐shifting, enhanced stiffness, and remarkable energy ...

Water Parameters and Hydrodynamics in Rivers and Caves Hosting Astyanax mexicanus Populations Reveal Macro‐, Meso‐ and Microhabitat Characteristics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
From 2009 to 2025, we have recorded the physicochemical parameters of the water and the hydrological regimes at localities hosting Astyanax mexicanus cavefish and surface fish populations in Mexico. Sampling 13 caves and 30 surface stations revealed strong signatures of the two macrohabitats, but also significant differences in specific water ...
