Strengthening of RC beams with inadequate lap splice length using cast-in-situ and anchored precast ECC ferrocement layers mitigating construction failure risk

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Design standards necessitate the use of a sufficient lap splice length when dealing with longer spans of Reinforced Concrete (RC) members. An inadequate lap splice length results in a reduction of both the flexural strength and ductility of reinforced ...

Behavior of RC beams with tension lap splices confined with transverse reinforcement using different types of concrete under pure bending

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2018
Many research studies have been carried out on the different parameters affecting the bond strength of tension lap splices in RC beams but limited attention has been given to the effect of using transverse reinforcement along the splice length. The first

How Do Professionals Portray Adolescents' Resilience in Residential Care? A Qualitative Study

Child &Family Social Work, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 1445-1455, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Adolescents in residential care may achieve positive outcomes despite previous adverse experiences. However, literature focuses more on negative outcomes than resilience. Supportive relationships between professionals and adolescents in residential care are key to ensuring resilience in adolescents.
