Identification of invisible damage in prestressed concrete bridges—A demonstrator case using coda wave interferometry

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract During their life cycle, prestressed concrete bridges are prone to wire breaks of their tendons due to fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. However, not all structures show visible cracking on the surface, which would provide timely warning of otherwise invisible damage. Brittle failure may occur.

Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This work presents a rational kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete short columns. Due to their high stiffness and brittleness, short columns are particularly vulnerable to seismic forces, often exhibiting critical failures.

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Architecting and Industrializing Advanced Production and Manufacturing Systems for Critical Industries

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced production systems play a vital role in modern society. Such systems are developed and industrialized over multiple years and at great expense. The complexities of these systems are exacerbated in the case of metal additive manufacturing, which involves numerous process variables and relies on various auxiliary systems.
