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.

Tensile strength and slip model for steel reinforcement anchorages and lap splices [PDF]
A unified analytical model to compute the slip response and maximum tensile stress capacity of both steel bar anchorages and lap splices is presented. The model assumes idealized bond stress distributions along the anchorage and lap-splice lengths, from ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.

Evaluation of Mitigative Techniques for Non-Contact Lap Splices in Concrete Block Construction [PDF]
, 2014 A previously completed study in the field of concrete block construction by Ahmed and Feldman (2012) indicated that, on average, the reinforcing bars in non-contact lap splices, where the lapped bars are located in adjacent cells, only develop 71% of the

The performance of corroded lap splices in reinforced concrete beams
, 2017 This article presents the results of an extensive experimental program containing 22 beams with tension lap splices in the central region. The beams were preconditioned under simulated corrosion up to specific levels of bar section steel loss and cover ...

Mechanical Splices for Seismic Retrofitting of Concrete Structures [PDF]
, 2020 As an alternative to lap splicing, mechanical splices can be used for retrofit purposes. They are generally most economical than traditional lap splices when available spacing or length makes laps difficult to utilize.
