Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural response of GFRP‐reinforced SFRC beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to address the challenges related to the deformability and ductility of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, an alternative solution involving steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been proposed. In the present study, a total of seven beams—including one steel‐reinforced reference beam and six glass

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

Exploration and Exploitation: A Study on Sample Efficiency in Reinforcement Learning With Multifaceted Curiosity Rewards and Adaptive Experience Replay Utilisation in Sparse Reward Environments

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, the widespread application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in autonomous systems has highlighted the importance of achieving high sample efficiency under sparse reward conditions. To improve sample efficiency in sparse reward environments, this paper proposes a reinforcement learning framework built upon the Soft Actor ...
