Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The field of reinforced concrete (RC) strengthening continues to evolve as the construction industry seeks cost‐effective and sustainable alternatives to structural replacement. This study, therefore, aimed to comprehensively investigate the pioneering application of steel‐reinforced grout (SRG) for strengthening large‐scale, 3.5‐meter‐long ...

Seismic performance evaluation of a century‐old RC columns for railway's structural concrete
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Since the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 in Japan, reinforced concrete (RC) has been adopted for railway bridge piers, and some of these structures, now over 100 years old, continue to support transportation in the capital city of Tokyo. Evaluating the seismic performance of these few remaining RC structures has become an urgent issue. Because

Innovative development and structural behavior of hollow columns using inflatable molds
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study introduces a novel approach for constructing hollow columns using precast (PC) methods enhanced by inflatable air tubes as internal molds. The proposed method addresses practical challenges in conventional hollow column construction, such as limited constructability, high production cost, and interference between internal molds and ...

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Structural Complexity is perceived as driving cost in system development, yet managing it effectively requires empirical understanding. This study investigates human decision‐making using a toy transportation‐style network design task, focusing on how Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance interact. Seventy‐four participants (primarily

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) have potential applications in offshore oil and gas industries because of their strength, lack of corrosion, and flexibility. Designed for fluid transportation in high‐pressure and high‐temperature environments, manufacturing defects and operational loads can compromise their performance.

Nondestructive Measurement of Residual Stress on Epoxy Insulators Using Thermoelastic Method
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Residual stress is inevitable in epoxy insulators, which easily leads to small cracks and even insulation breakdown during the operation of gas‐insulated transmission line (GIL)/gas‐insulated switchgear (GIS). This study proposes a nondestructive method to measure the residual stress on epoxy insulators using thermoelastic effects.
