Numerical analysis of the stability behaviour of castellated beams and comparison to regular hot‐rolled profiles

open access: yesSteel Construction, Volume 19, Issue 1, Page 50-59, February 2026.
Abstract Castellated steel beams, characterised by their unique perforated web design, have gained significant popularity in the construction of medium‐span structures, like industrial and office buildings. These beams offer an economical solution due to their increased bending moment capacity about the major axis with relatively low weight and ...

thermogram Breast Cancer Detection : a comparative study of two machine learning techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Breast cancer is considered one of the major threats for women’s health all over the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 1 in every 12 women could be subject to a breast abnormality during her lifetime. To increase survival rates,

Artificial Neural Network‐Based Optimization of Anaerobic Digestion in Municipal Wastewater Treatment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Improving methane production is essential for enhancing the self‐sufficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), with anaerobic digestion (AD) acting as the key sustainability driver by serving as an energy recovery mechanism. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an effective way to manage the AD process without requiring a detailed understanding of

Withdrawal Strength of Ring-shank Nails Embedded in Southern Pine Lumber

open access: yes, 1997
Ring-shank nails are used extensively in post-frame construction due to their superior performance, yet surprisingly little testing has been done on nail sizes above 12d.

Design of top-hat purlins for cold-formed steel portal frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper considers the use of cold-formed steel top-hat sections for purlins in the UK, as an alternative to conventional zed-sections. The use of such top-hat sections could be viable for cold-formed steel portal framing systems, where both the frame ...

Design of an Innovative CFS Purlin (Zigmax®) by Experimental Testing

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 337-342, December 2025.
Abstract ZIGMAX® is an innovative cold‐formed steel solution developed for roof purlins stabilized by steel sheeting or sandwich panels. This hybrid cross‐section merges the benefits of traditional Z and Σ profiles, delivering improved structural performance.

Experimental data from out‐of‐plane shake‐table tests on unreinforced masonry gables

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 4227-4245, December 2025.
This article presents a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the out‐of‐plane (OOP) seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) gables in existing buildings. Addressing a critical gap in published research, the dataset provides novel experimental data on the incremental dynamic OOP behavior of three URM gables tested under seismic ...
