Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

A Universal Meta‐Heuristic Framework for Influence Maximisation in Hypergraphs
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Influence maximisation (IM) aims to select a small number of nodes that are able to maximise their influence in a network and covers a wide range of applications. Despite numerous attempts to provide effective solutions in simple networks, higher‐order interactions between entities in various real‐world systems are usually not taken into ...

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Intrinsic motivation serves as the predominant paradigm of exploration in reinforcement learning. In pursuit of an informative and robust state representation, the behavioural metric groups behaviourally equivalent states together, which share the same single‐step reward and transition distribution.
