Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Bending Characteristics of Hybrid Fiber Concrete Beams Reinforced with Steel–GFRP Hybrid Rebars

Buildings
The current study aims to investigate the effect of using hybrid bars on the bending characteristics of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) beams. For this purpose, a series of flexural tests on FRC beams were conducted. Four FRC beams were fabricated,

Weaving a New Path: Rethinking Incumbents' Role in Sustainability Transitions Through a Multilevel Perspective

Creativity and Innovation Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 91-109, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how incumbent firms can actively foster sustainability transitions by strategically engaging across regime and niche levels when developing sustainable innovations. Drawing on an embedded case study of a leading Italian textile company involved in eight sustainable innovation projects, we identify four strategies—namely,

A Jacobian‐Free Newton‐Krylov Method for Cell‐Centred Finite Volume Solid Mechanics

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a Jacobian‐free Newton‐Krylov approach for finite‐volume solid mechanics. Traditional Newton‐based approaches require explicit Jacobian matrix formation and storage, which can be computationally expensive and memory‐intensive.

Low‐Velocity Impact Response of Nacre‐Inspired E‐Glass/Epoxy Composites With Varying Platelet Sizes

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 2781-2798, 10 February 2026.
Impact response of nacre‐inspired E‐glass/epoxy composites with different platelet sizes. ABSTRACT This study explores the low‐velocity impact behavior of nacre‐inspired biomimetic platelet composites (NIBPC), using low‐cost E‐glass fiber in chopped strand mat (CSM) form as reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix.

Performance Evaluation on Hybrid Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research
Globally, there is a steady increase in the use of natural, eco-friendly fibers as reinforcement in the creation of lightweight, low-effort polymer composites. Basalt fiber (BF), which is clever and has unique qualities over glass fibers, is one such material of interest that is currently being used widely.
