Multiscale structural analysis inspired by exceptional load cases concerning the immersed tunnel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge

Underground Space, 2018
This paper contains an assessment of the added value of multiscale material models for concrete in the context of macroscopic structural analysis of (steel-reinforced) concrete structures. Two examples are discussed.

Anti‐Globalization Dynamics and Africa's Structural Transformation: Identifying Avoidable Environmental Degradation Thresholds

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study pursues a dual objective. First, it investigates the unconditional impact of anti‐globalization on structural transformation in Africa. Second, it explores how environmental degradation interacts with anti‐globalization to influence structural transformation. The analysis focuses on 52 African countries over the period 2005–2023. To

Dynamic Initiation and Propagation of Multiple Cracks in Brittle Materials [PDF]

, 2013
Brittle materials such as rock and ceramic usually exhibit apparent increases of strength and toughness when subjected to dynamic loading. The reasons for this phenomenon are not yet well understood, although a number of hypotheses have been proposed ...

Dynamic Mechanical Behavior and DIF-Based Capacity Prediction of Steel–CA–UHPC Composite Beams Under Impact Loading

Buildings
Steel–concrete composite beams are widely used in building and bridge engineering; however, the impact response of Steel–Coarse Aggregate–Ultra-High Performance Concrete (Steel–CA–UHPC) composite beams remains insufficiently quantified, and no beam ...

Current‐Carrying Characteristics of High‐Voltage Land Cables With Different Grounding Methods for Low‐Frequency AC Transmission

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐frequency AC transmission holds promise for high‐voltage land cables, but its ampacity is significantly influenced by cable grounding methods and other structural factors. To explore the specific low‐frequency current‐carrying characteristics of high‐voltage land cables, this paper conducts a thorough theoretical analysis of the coupling ...

Policy Evaluation for Climate Mitigations in the European Agricultural Sector—A Comparison of Policy Options at Micro and Macro Level

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to discuss the micro‐ and macro‐outcomes for the standard neoclassical carbon tax (whose burden falls on the producers) versus the implication of a budget neutral, performance‐based EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) focusing on non‐CO2 emission (N2O and CH4, measured in CO2eq) reduction, especially in the ...
