Deformation and strength of grouted sleeve connectors in pre‐fabricated concrete structures: Mechanisms and analytical modeling

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

“Why Can't They Just Stay?” A Critical Conversation and Membership Categorization Analysis of Racial Neoliberalism in English Language Education

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I analyze the co‐constitution of race and neoliberalism within the discourse of an English language classroom.
