Concrete with a very high number of load cycles—Identification of stress levels for efficient investigation of fatigue behavior

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fatigue stresses are receiving increasing attention in structural engineering, particularly in the design of increasingly slender structures. However, the mechanical response of concrete—particularly its fatigue behavior under very high numbers of load cycles—is still scarcely understood.

Influence of shear reinforcement detailing on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Alternative shear reinforcement layouts that do not fully enclose the longitudinal tensile reinforcement can significantly improve the constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, their influence on shear transfer mechanisms is not yet fully understood. To address this gap, an experimental program comprising 10 shear tests on

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

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

open access: yesStructural 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 ...

Gas check prevention during calendering of poly(vinyl chloride) films using poly(caprolactone)‐based additives

open access: yesJournal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 441-452, March 2025.
Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and
