Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

Influence of shear reinforcement detailing on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Alternative shear reinforcement layouts that do not fully enclose the longitudinal tensile reinforcement can significantly improve the constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, their influence on shear transfer mechanisms is not yet fully understood. To address this gap, an experimental program comprising 10 shear tests on

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

A Single‐Crystalline High‐κ K2Mo3O10 Dielectric for Two‐Dimensional Field‐Effect Transistors
SusMat, EarlyView.K2Mo3O10 nanosheet can be synthesized by CVD method with a wide bandgap (∼4.09 eV) and high dielectric constant (∼39). The MoS2 FET with K2Mo3O10 as the top‐gate dielectric exhibits a steep SS as low as 76 mV dec−1 with an average of approximately 140 mV dec−1 and an on/off current ratio of up to 107 with an average of approximately 106.

Alignment of Agile and Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) Principles in Systems Engineering
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Organizations have consistently sought faster and more efficient methods for producing and delivering products. Agile principles offer essential guidance for shaping their policies and practices. The Agile Manifesto (AM) outlines 12 core principles for guiding software development but can also be applied in other contexts.
