Experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural response of GFRP‐reinforced SFRC beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to address the challenges related to the deformability and ductility of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, an alternative solution involving steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been proposed. In the present study, a total of seven beams—including one steel‐reinforced reference beam and six glass

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Fracture Behaviour of Hybrid Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fibers have been used as discrete randomly distributed reinforcement to strengthen a material \ud weak in tension. A concrete beam containing fibers suffers damage \ud by gradual development of \ud single or multiple cracks with increasing ...

Geopolymers as a Sustainable Chemical Platform: From Building Materials to Advanced Functional Applications

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Geopolymers are presented as a chemically programmable platform whose properties emerge from activation chemistry, nanoscale disorder, and interfacial design. The review highlights sustainability challenges, the shift toward nanoengineered and hybrid systems, and the rise of halloysite‐based architectures enabling tunable structures across scales for ...

Electrical Breakdown Analysis of Emerging Oil–Paper Insulation Systems

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This investigation addresses the effect of particulate additives on the electrical breakdown strength of the oil impregnated insulation paper system. The morphological complexity is addressed by converting data from scanning electron microscope images to a data set suitable for numerical simulation analysis. Then, by using the conventional oil‐

Strain-hardening behavior of fiber reinforced concrete

open access: yes, 2003
Fiber reinforced concrete with postpeak strain hardening type of response contributes significantly to the load carrying capacity, the impact and fatigue resistance and the reduced crack opening width, and is developed for special applications when large

THE ANALOG CITY: Maintaining Everyday Life Through Repair and Jugaad

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban scholarship consistently discusses improvisation and heterogeneity as central to urban life in the global South. In this article, I bring together scholarship on urban improvisation and the digital world of smart cities to understand the city as analog.

Flexural And Toughness Behaviour Of Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

open access: yes
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world, but its inherent brittleness and low tensile strength often limit its performance in structural applications. To overcome these limitations, the addition of fibres into the concrete mix has emerged as an effective technique to improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength ...

How Due Diligence Transforms Private Sustainability Governance: The Case of the Global Organic Textile Standard

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing awareness of social and environmental risks in global supply chains has driven a shift from voluntary corporate responsibility toward mandatory due diligence legislation. These emerging regulatory frameworks require businesses to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts, thereby redefining the ...

Game‐Based Learning Versus Model Arm Training for Intravenous Cannulation in Dental Education

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peripheral intravenous catheterisation is a complex procedure that is primarily performed by nurses in healthcare services. Peripheral intravenous catheterisation (PIVC) is also part of the updated 2024 Core Program in the National Dental Education catalogue. This study aimed to implement this practice and to evaluate the approach
