Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

From Waste to Value: A Data‐Driven Framework for Sustainable Raw Materials Substitution in the Ceramic Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing geopolitical risks, environmental pressures, and regulatory demands, the sustainable sourcing of raw materials has become a global priority for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

Finite-Element Analysis of Flexural Strengthening Performance of Fire-Damaged RC Beams

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
In this study, a simplified cross-sectional approach based on finite-element analysis was developed to evaluate the flexural strengthening performance of fire-damaged RC beams using externally bonded steel plates and CFRP strips. The strength degradation

Behavior and Retrofit of Steel I-Beams with Corrosion and Web Openings: Slender Versus Deep Beam Response Under FRP Strengthening

Buildings
This study investigates the structural behavior of steel I-beams containing corrosion-induced section loss and web openings, along with the effectiveness of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening as a retrofit strategy.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Punching Shear Strengthening of Slab-Circular Column Connection Incorporating UHPC and Galvanized Threaded Steel Bolts

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
Punching shear failure poses a critical risk in flat slab–column structures, potentially leading to catastrophic collapses. Retrofitting methods typically involve flexural or shear strengthening.
