Afro‐Amerindian cosmopolitics in environmental education: A decolonial analysis of academic discourses involving the epistemological disputes around the term sustainability

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Considering the growing calls for decolonial approaches within the scope of Climate Change and Sustainability Education (CCSE), in this research we seek to understand the meanings which have been put into circulation through research narratives on Environmental Education (EE) concluded in Latin America, regarding Afro‐Amerindian knowledges ...

A Model for Shear Strength of FRP Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams without Stirrups

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
The shear failure of a reinforced concrete beam generally occurs when the principal tensile stress near the neutral axis is equal to or greater than the tension strength of concrete.

Sailing From Penalties to Accountability: Business Strategies and Governance for Firms to Innovate After Environmental Misconduct

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Firms' continuous pursuit of making a profit in the competitive market may ignore the actions related to environmental responsibilities. This set of actions for financial gains constitutes environmental misconduct, which not only harms ecosystems and communities but also brings reputational damage. Negative press and social media amplification

TUM bond database with full‐scale beam tests on anchorages and laps in tension

Civil Engineering Design, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliable experimental data is essential for the development and validation of structural design models. However, existing bond databases often lack consistency, traceability, and overall data quality. To address this, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) developed the TUM Bond Database (TUMBD), a curated collection of experimental test ...

Effect of material properties on ductility factor of singly rc beam sections [PDF]

, 2006
Ductility may be defined as the ability to undergo deformations without a substantial reduction in the flexural capacity of the member. The ductility of reinforced concrete beams depends mainly on the shape of the moment-curvature relationship of the ...

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Review and prospects of shear test of bolted rock joints

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The laboratory shear test equipment, test method, and numerical simulation of bolted rock joints were summarized. The shortcomings and limitations of the current research were analyzed, and the research prospects were proposed. Abstract Rock bolting is a critical approach in geotechnical engineering for supporting weak rocks.
