Post‐earthquake field assessment and damage correlation of elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Kahramanmaras/Elbistan, Türkiye

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

Optimizing UHPC Layers to Improve Punching Shear Performance in Concrete Slabs

Buildings
Flat slabs supported by columns without beams are widely used in construction owing to their economy and efficiency. However, brittle punching shear failure at slab–column connections can cause progressive collapse.

Time‐resolved XPCS analysis across broad time‐scales using multi‐tau two‐time correlations

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
A scalable multi‐tau two‐time correlation framework enables efficient, time‐resolved XPCS analysis of long duration high‐frame‐rate modern synchrotron data while preserving sensitivity to non‐stationary dynamics.We present a multi‐tau two‐time correlation (MT‐2TC) analysis for X‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy that enables efficient analysis of ...

An Archaeometric Approach to Reveal Organic Compounds via GC‐MS Analyses of Two Discovered Incense Burners at Daba Al‐Bayah

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

One-Way Shear Resistance of RC Members with Unconnected Stirrups

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
This paper presents results of eight experimental tests carried to evaluate the mechanical performance of unconnected "W" stirrups. Reinforced concrete wide beams were tested and their characteristics were idealized to represent column strips in flat ...
