Fatigue performance of crossbeam‐to‐stiffener welded details adopted in OSD bridges

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 2733-2738, September 2026.
Abstract Orthotropic Steel Decks (OSDs) are extensively employed in bridge engineering for medium‐ to long‐span viaducts, primarily due to their high strength‐to‐weight efficiency and the reduced need for additional reinforced concrete components. However, the large number of welded joints, combined with the significant influence of cyclic loading ...

Assessing the Impact of Nitrogen Trade‐Off Between Coffee Tree Productivity and Bean Sensory Attributes to Produce Australian ‘Specialty Coffee’

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Effective nitrogen management is essential for sustainable coffee production and enhanced yield. This study evaluated the effects of five nitrogen application rates (per annum; N1: 120 kg/ha, N2: 240 kg/ha, N3: 360 kg/ha, N4: 480 kg/ha, N5: 600 kg/ha) applied in equally distributed monthly rates over 2 years, from flowering to harvest, on Coffea ...

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Modeling the response of UHPC shear‐critical beams: Integrating nonlinear finite element analysis and artificial neural network

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 1364-1382, April 2026.
Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Interfacial Chemistry Behind Damage Monitoring in Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Composites: Attempts and Perspectives

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 2925-2954, 20 February 2026.
Role of the modifications at the interface in glass fiber reinforced composites for damage monitoring. ABSTRACT Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRPs) are widely used in structural applications but degrade over time due to internal damage. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) enables early damage detection, improving reliability and reducing maintenance
