Deformation and strength of grouted sleeve connectors in pre‐fabricated concrete structures: Mechanisms and analytical modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

Bond, tension‐stiffening, and cracking in multi‐generational recycled aggregate concrete subjected to shrinkage strains

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The concrete industry is responsible for a significant portion of global waste production and multi‐generation recycled aggregate concrete (MGRAC) is a means to allow the sector to transition to a circular economy framework. To predict the behavior of MGRAC at the member level there is a need to understand the underlying mechanics of bond ...

Experimental assessment of column rectangularity in flat‐slab slab–column connections

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation of the punching shear behavior of seven 3.00 m × 3.00 m × 0.20 m flat slabs without shear reinforcement, supported by internal rectangular columns. The column side lengths were varied to obtain aspect ratios, cmax/cmin, from 1.67 to 4.00, while the flexural reinforcement and overall slab ...

An Overview of High‐Temperature Superconducting Cables in DC Systems: Unlocking Potential for High‐Voltage DC Networks

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of high‐temperature superconducting (HTS) cables in DC systems, with a focus on their deployment in high‐voltage DC (HVDC) networks. The assessment of HTS cable properties—such as extremely low electrical resistance, high current‐carrying capacity and a compact geometry—and their comparison with those of ...

Long‐Term Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Combined With Electrical Stimulation Biofeedback Among Women With Symptomatic Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Randomised Controlled Trial

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether adding electrical stimulation (ES) biofeedback to supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) provides additional long‐term benefit in prolapse anatomy among women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Design Randomised controlled trial. Setting A tertiary hospital in Beijing, China.
