Social Sustainability in Chemical Engineering: Concepts, Methodologies, Challenges, and Integration Strategies

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical engineering faces an increasing imperative to integrate sustainability principles beyond traditional economic and environmental considerations. The social dimension—encompassing impacts on human well‐being, equity, community health, labor practices, and ethical governance—represents a critical yet often underdeveloped pillar within ...

Experimental study of the long-term shortening of reinforced concrete columns under maintaining concentric axial load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper presents the results of an experimental study to measure the shortening of reinforced concrete (RC) columns under long-term maintaining concentric axial load. Long-term axial deformation due to shrinkage and creep of the concrete were recorded

Characterisation of bending cracks in R/FRC using image analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this study, experiments were conducted to induce bending cracks of specific surface crack width to reinforced concrete beams made of plain concrete (RC) and reinforced concrete beams made of fibre reinforced concrete (R/FRC).

Critical shear crack shapes in slender reinforced concrete beams with and without shear reinforcement

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The accurate prediction of the shear capacity of reinforced concrete underpins the efficient and safe design of concrete buildings and infrastructure. Disagreement remains about shear mechanisms and the modeling of shear resistance. For slender beams without shear reinforcement, critical shear crack (CSC) models have attracted interest.

Performance analysis of strengthening reinforced concrete beams under pure torsion using galvanized steel sheets: Experimental and numerical investigation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.
