Moral Economies of Debt Forgiveness and Enforcement in Postcrisis Iceland

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Who deserves financial relief in times of crisis, and on what grounds? The 2008 collapse of Iceland's banking system prompted state intervention to mitigate household indebtedness, including forbearance, pension withdrawals, repayment adjustments, and debt reductions.

Smuggling Sovereignty: Trade, Transgression, and State Authority

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global supply chains are saturated with transgressions—corruption, smuggling, document forgery, and other practices that blur the line between legality and illegality. States do not merely endure these practices; they actively shape the conditions for them, producing the very illegal systems they then claim to police.

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

Structural 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 ...

Influence of shear reinforcement detailing on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Alternative shear reinforcement layouts that do not fully enclose the longitudinal tensile reinforcement can significantly improve the constructability of reinforced concrete (RC) members. However, their influence on shear transfer mechanisms is not yet fully understood. To address this gap, an experimental program comprising 10 shear tests on
