Automated Damage Index Estimation of Reinforced Concrete Columns for Post-Earthquake Evaluations [PDF]

, 2015
In emergency scenarios, immediate reconnaissance efforts are necessary. These efforts often take months to complete in full. While underway, building occupants are unable to return to their homes/businesses, and thus, the impact on the society of the ...

Linearizing and Forecasting: A Reservoir Computing Route to Digital Twins of the Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new approach uses simple neural networks to create digital twins of brain activity, capturing how different patterns unfold over time. The method generates and recovers key dynamics even from noisy data. When applied to fMRI, it predicts brain signals and reveals distinctive activity patterns across regions and individuals, opening possibilities for ...

Mechanical properties of RC columns strengthened with high-strength stainless steel wires-ECC under large eccentric loading

Case Studies in Construction Materials
In this research, high-strength stainless steel (HSSS) wires with ECC were used to strengthen the RC columns to take full advantage of two reinforcement materials and increase the ductility, load-carrying capacity, and durability of strengthened columns.

Contribution to sustainable seismic design of reinforced concrete members through embodied CO2 emissions optimization [PDF]

, 2017
The embodied CO2 emissions of reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be significantly reduced by structural optimization that maximizes structural efficiency. Previous studies dealing with design of RC structures for minimum CO2 emissions do not address

Proton FLASH Exposure Preserves Gut Commensal Microbiomes and Spares Intestinal Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of Proton FLASH abdominal irradiation in sparing of intestinal stem cells and preservation of key gut microbial population resulting minimization of radiation toxicity in intestinal epithelium in mice. Our findings support the potential of Proton FLASH to improve the therapeutic ratio for abdominal radiation exposure ...

Rc Column Strengthening By Fibres

, 2017
The deterioration of concrete structures might be due to ageing, poor maintenance, corrosion due to poor environmental conditions and accidental situations like earthquakes. The need to upgrade the deteriorated civil engineering infrastructure greatly enhances with the ever increasing demands. Therefore rehabilitating and retrofitting civil engineering

PERILAKU DAKTILITAS KOLOM BETON BERTULANG DENGAN CINCIN BAJA SEBAGAI EXTERNAL CONFINEMENT [PDF]

, 2016
Column is a very important load bearing structural element. When column fails, it does not only cause the collapse of the story where the column exists but may catastrophically disintegrate the overall structure.

Progressive Collapse Resisting Mechanisms of Planar Prestressed Concrete Frame [PDF]

, 2019
The paper presents the behavior of six tests of Planar Prestressed Concrete Frame under the loss of a middle column. The six tests consist of two non-prestressed reinforced concrete (RC) specimens and four prestressed concrete (PC) specimens with bonded ...
