Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Precast reinforced concrete segmental linings are frequently used in modern tunneling. In these linings, the longitudinal joints typically have a reduced contact cross‐section and thus often govern the design, particularly in tunnels under high hydrostatic pressure or crossing squeezing or swelling ground with correspondingly high ...

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.

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.

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Beyond Manoeuvre Theory for European Defence
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article contributes to the debate about European defence in the light of the Russo‐Ukraine war and growing doubts about US commitment to Europe. It argues that Europeans need to fundamentally relearn the ability to imagine military strategy from a European viewpoint.
