Using Grammar Dimensions to Transform Multilingual Teachers From Rule Repeaters to Reason Givers

TESOL Journal, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines a reconceptualized approach to grammar addressing fundamental gaps in multilingual teacher preparation. Traditional rule‐based training has historically prepared teachers to give prescriptive responses that shut down student inquiry rather than to reason about grammatical patterns in context.

Experimental Dataset From Full‐Scale Near‐Collapse Tests on Two‐Storey, Two‐Bay Masonry‐Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames With Timber‐Based Reinforced Concrete‐Timber Panel Seismic Retrofit

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams: Comparative Analysis of Experimental and Finite Element Methods

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams are increasingly used in structural applications such as offshore platforms, high‐rise buildings, foundations, and nuclear facilities. However, the absence of a universally accepted strut‐and‐tie method (STM) for their design remains a critical challenge.

Optimizing different damaged reinforced concrete corbel characteristics utilizing CFRP sheets

Fracture and Structural Integrity
Concrete corbels are short cantilever constructions that may lose their strength over time because of loads that happen over and over again. As an external bonding method for reinforcement, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips are utilized to ...

Experimental Investigation on Shear Behavior of Double Sided Reinforced Concrete Corbels Using BFRP Bars

Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences
A reinforced concrete corbel is a short cantilever structural member extending from columns or walls, resisting mostly vertical loads by shear action. The paper presents an experimental investigation on the shear behavior of reinforced concrete corbels ...

EFFECT OF USING SLURRY INFILTRATED FIBER CONCRETE ON THE BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE CORBELS

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2021
This paper experimentally presents the behavior and strength of slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON) corbels. The program included 3 specimens in which steel fiber volume fractions were varied (6,8, and 10) %. All specimens had a constant shear span to depth ratio (a/d=0.7) and were of the same width, length, and thickness.

Innovation and modernization of Gabčíkovo lock chambers

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 4015-4029, August 2025.
Abstract From 2019 to 2023, extensive innovation and modernization took place at the lock chambers of the Gabčíkovo waterworks to increase the safety and intensity of the water transport. The waterworks is located on the Danube River about 60 km southeast of Bratislava—the capital of Slovakia.

Dynamic Test of Negative Stiffness Damped Outrigger With Damping Amplification

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 1141-1155, 10 April 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper proposed a novel negative stiffness damped outrigger with damping amplification (NSDO‐DA) through a smart combination of an L‐shape lever, a precompressed disc spring brace (DSB), and a viscous damper. A theoretical model of the NSDO‐DA considering nonlinear adaptive negative stiffness, damping amplification of nonlinear viscous ...

Colourful Urban Birds: Bird Species Successful in Urban Environments Have More Elaborate Colours and Less Brown

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Urban bird communities are more colour‐diverse after accounting for species richness. We also found that bird species that do well in urban environments are less likely to be brown and exhibit more elaborate colours, but not higher sexual dichromatism. ABSTRACT Rapidly expanding urbanisation presents significant challenges to wildlife.

Robustness of Dry‐Assembled Precast Wall and Coupled Wall‐Frame High‐Rise Structures With Voided Prestressed Slabs

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Precast concrete structures are recognized among the structural typologies that may mostly suffer from progressive collapse as a consequence of local unpredicted damage, also due to past accidents occurred in buildings employing old precast technologies neglecting the basic robustness criteria and characterized by poorly detailed and/or ...
