Experimental analysis of reinforced concrete block masonry beams using pre-fabricated planar trussed bars [PDF]
, 2012 Masonry spandrels together with shear walls are structural components of a masonry building subjected to lateral loads. Shear walls are the main components of this structural system, even if masonry spandrels are the elements that ensure the connection ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose fastest in each site, and fastest on the wet end of the gradient (H3).

Influence of Biological Pretreatment of Wooden Dowels on Strength of Rotary Welded Joints
BioResources, 2023 Welding wood achieves joints whose strength is comparable with the strength of glued joints. When welding, the top of the dowel is not welded because of the lack of melted lignin.

Experimental Study of a Novel Type Joint Used in Precast Reinforced Concrete Frame Under Reversals
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Prefabricated components are an integral part of the prefabricated construction. One of the main challenges in seismic regions is developing constructible connections between prefabricated components that can withstand inelastic cyclic deformations. This study introduces a novel type of joint designed to connect prefabricated concrete columns and beams

Monte Carlo tree search for mass timber building design optimization
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 31, Page 6242-6260, 29 December 2025.Abstract Mass timber construction has gained significant traction in recent years due to its sustainability and lower energy demands. However, its broader adoption remains limited by higher material costs, compared to conventional construction materials.

Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.This work explores the use of supercooled liquid as a multifunctional working fluid for soft actuators to allow independent control of position and stiffness; the solution is used to both inflate the elastomer chambers while in liquid state and to achieve a dramatic increase in stiffness (up to 13 times) with rapid, reversible crystallization.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 3069-3089, 10 October 2025.ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.
