Strengthening of slab-column connections using ultra high-performance fiber concrete
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022 This experimental work intends to assess the efficiency of employing ultra-high-performance fiber concrete (UHPFC) as a strengthening system for improving the punching shear capacity of slab-column connections (SCCs).

Punching shear analysis of slab‐column connections [PDF]
Engineering Computations, 2013 Purpose – The paper aims to present an experimental testing program regarding reinforced concrete slabs, with and without shear reinforcement, submitted to punching under both symmetric and eccentric loading. Comparisons between numerical simulations and experimental behaviour results are carried on.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Here, we present a novel 3D cell patterning and culture platform. The “Floor‐Ceiling‐Chip” (FC‐Chip) consists of two opposing track‐etched membranes, creating a pseudo‐3D microenvironment for the cells in between. By providing the membranes with micropatterned cell‐adhesive islands of varying geometries and sizes, the FC‐Chip enables control over cell ...

An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Model to Predict Punching Shear Strength of Flat Concrete Slabs
Applied Sciences, 2019 An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based model was developed to predict the punching shear strength of flat concrete slabs without shear reinforcement. The model was developed using a database collected from 207 experiments available in the

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review summarizes the roles of key central nervous system cell types, the extracellular matrix, and the blood‐brain barrier in neuroinflammation, and their integration into diverse 3D culture systems. It examines major incorporation strategies, including direct co‐culture, hydrogel encapsulation, transwell migration assays, and bioprinting ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A long‐lived, five‐cell‐type human neurovascular (PENTA) model recreates vascular disorganization and incomplete repair after traumatic brain injury (TBI). By integrating endothelial, glial, neuronal, and immune components within a 3D scaffold, the platform enables time‐resolved analysis of neurovascular remodeling and provides a human‐relevant system ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Electrospun tubular scaffolds from novel PBCE‐based copolyesters and blends were designed as candidates for small‐diameter vascular grafts. They combine defect‐free architecture, blood‐compatible surfaces, and mechanical properties comparable to native vessels.
