Low‐Cost Friction‐Based Force‐Limiting Connection With Reduced Sensitivity to Machining Tolerances and Accelerated Repairability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1270-1291, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Effect of Steel Shearhead on Behaviour of Eccentrically Loaded Reinforced Concrete Flat Plate

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2013
The aim of this study is to investigate the punching shear of reinforced concrete slabs (with steel shearhead as shear reinforcement) under eccentric load; this simulates the effect of unbalance moment on slab column connection with shearhead.

Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Punching Shear Strengthening of Slab-Circular Column Connection Incorporating UHPC and Galvanized Threaded Steel Bolts

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
Punching shear failure poses a critical risk in flat slab–column structures, potentially leading to catastrophic collapses. Retrofitting methods typically involve flexural or shear strengthening.

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Vertical‐Component Seismic Response and System Identification of a 52‐Story High‐Rise Building Using Earthquake Data

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

Next Generation 7 Tesla Arterial Spin Labeling With Rotated Spiral Acquisition Enables Mesoscale Resolution in 3D Brain Perfusion and Functional MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 2702-2717, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To achieve high resolution (≤ 1 mm isotropic) whole‐brain perfusion imaging at 7 T with next generation ASL pulse sequence, reconstruction algorithm, and MRI hardware. Methods We capitalized on three major innovations: (1) FLASH‐based pseudo‐Continuous ASL (pCASL) sequence with rotated golden‐angle stack‐of‐spirals (rGA‐SoS) sampling; (

An ALS‐associated mutation in the C‐terminal α‐helix of TDP‐43 uncouples condensate formation and amyloid assembly

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) plays a critical role in RNA metabolism and is incorporated into biomolecular condensates called stress granules. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and several other neurodegenerative disorders, TDP‐43 undergoes aberrant phase transitions, forming insoluble amyloid aggregates, including fibrils composed

A Tutorial on Bayesian Multi‐Study Factor Analysis With Applications in Nutrition and Genomics

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 10-12, May 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐dimensional data are crucial in biomedical research. Integrating such data from multiple studies is a critical process that relies on the choice of advanced statistical models, enhancing statistical power, reproducibility, and scientific insight compared to analyzing each study separately.
