From a Greentech Special Economic Zone to Small Zinc‐Walled Markets: The Circuits of the Urban Economy and Racial Capitalism in Atlantis, South Africa

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the relations between the Atlantis Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) and the urban economy of Atlantis, South Africa, with particular attention to the Witsand neighbourhood. Drawing on Milton Santos' theory of the two circuits of the urban economy, the study explores how the upper circuit of greentech industries within the ...

A Design of an Axisymmetric Roof With a Horizontal Rotation Axis

Studies in Applied Mathematics, Volume 156, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This research proposes a novel roof design whose shape follows the mathematical model of an ideal hanging surface. The resulting roof is a surface of revolution, but its rotation axis is horizontal, which challenges conventional intuition because the axis is perpendicular to the direction of gravity.

Design of bond strength testing method of concrete layers for creating a material model

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings
The need to determine the bond strength of concrete layers in structural modeling is quite frequent and often encounters a lack of relevant experimental data due to the large number of variables which affect the bond strength.

Measuring Beyond the Standard: Informal Measurement Systems as Cognitive Technologies

Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 204-219, January 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the role of measurement as a cognitive technology across human history, emphasizing the coexistence of formal and informal measurement systems. While standardized systems dominate contemporary culture and are well documented across large‐scale societies of the past, this manuscript highlights the less explored domain of ...

Reliability Assessment of Simply Supported Beam Bridge Structural Performance Based on Load Tests

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Currently, bridge load tests use the verification coefficient to evaluate the structural performance of bridges in China, but this method is unsuitable. This paper presents a method that utilizes reliability to compare the actual bridge structural performance with the designed performance. Reliability functions for strain and deflection in load testing

The Effect of Granite Waste Powder as a Cement Substitute on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Mortar

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Granite is extensively used in the construction industry; however, substantial solid waste is produced during production. This study focused on the feasibility of replacing cement with granite powder (GP) in cement mortar by investigating various properties, like consistency, water retention, density, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural ...

A Novel Approach for Predicting Mining Subsidence in Near‐Horizontal Coal Seams by Coupling Key Stratum and Stochastic Medium Theories

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
With the increasing scale and intensity of coal mining, the subsidence range of the goaf continues to expand, seriously affecting the stability of surface buildings and restricting the ecological environment protection of mining areas. To enrich the discipline system of mining subsidence and improve prediction accuracy, this study clarifies the ...
