Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Anchorage performance of different punching shear reinforcement elements in cracked concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has been conducted on the bond and anchorage behavior of reinforcement elements in concrete. While many experimental studies have focused on uncracked concrete, the anchorage performance in the presence of cracks remains insufficiently understood.

Monitoring tunnel liners using fibre optic sensors

open access: yes, 2023
The issue of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is gaining importance as a means of assessing the health of a structure by determining the amount of degradation and evaluating the remaining service life of civil infrastructure systems.

Nanomaterials‐Decorated Biomass‐Derived Carbon for Overall Water Splitting: Interfacial Engineering, Mechanistic Insights, and Device Translation

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Biomass‐derived carbon provides a sustainable, porous, and conductive scaffold that stabilizes nanomaterials for bifunctional hydrogen evolution reaction/oxygen evolution reaction catalysis. This review summarizes design strategies (defects, heteroatom doping, heterostructures, single atoms), mechanistic/density functional theory insights, degradation ...

Analysis for Stabilization of Soil Slope in Silty Soil with Replacement of Soil Cement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The slope instability may result due to change in stress conditions, rise in groundwater and rainfall. Similarly, many slopes that have been stable for many years may suddenly fail due to loss of soil shear strength, and external forces.

A Very Social History: South American Cricketing Tourists in Britain in 1932

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on both the rich Anglophone cricket historiography and the new Latin American sports scholarship, this article maps out the entangled global networks that shaped the tour of Britain made in 1932 by a team of South American cricketers.

ORCHESTRATING DIFFERENCE AND SIMILARITY: Black Fungibility, and the Spatial Redrawing of Racial Categories in Spanish Colonial Morocco, Sahara and Guinea

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I dissect the spatial strategies through which the Spanish attempted to orchestrate both racial difference and similarity in the African colonies of Morocco, Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea during the first half of the twentieth century.

THE VIOLENCE OF FULL COST RECOVERY: Financing Water Infrastructure, and the History and Future of Perpetual Crisis in Mombasa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Foregrounding the role of finance, this article examines the historical production and future trajectory of the urban water crisis in Mombasa. Drawing on archival research and contemporary fieldwork, it traces how principles of full cost recovery—institutionalized during the colonial period and later reworked through postcolonial ...
