Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review
Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.

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 ...

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐
