Sustainable Utilization and Fire Protection of Wood‐Based Composites in Buildings: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing use of wood and wood‐based composites in construction reflects a global shift toward renewable materials that support sustainable development objectives, including carbon reduction and responsible resource use. While wood offers substantial environmental benefits compared to conventional materials such as concrete and steel, its

The effect of secondary fibre reinforcement on dynamic resistance of ultra-high-performance concrete

Acta Polytechnica
This study compares the dynamic initiation fracture toughness of five fibre-reinforced concrete materials with different types of fibre reinforcement. The base material was steel fibre-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete (S).

Neurotrophic Signaling, Sleep Physiology, and Retinal Neuroprotection: Integrative Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications for Glaucoma

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Glaucoma is increasingly understood as a neurodegenerative disorder shaped by sleep and circadian physiology, not intraocular pressure alone. Sleep loss and obstructive sleep apnea suppress BDNF–TrkB neurotrophic signaling, impair sleep‐dependent glymphatic clearance, and trigger microglial neuroinflammation and vascular insult at the optic nerve head,

Innovative 3D‐bioprinted microfibers in calcium phosphate cement platform with Nell‐1 to activate nerve‐bone axis for synergistic bone, vasculature, and nanofibrous nerve regeneration

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A 3D‐bioprinted platform with stem cells activates “nerve‐bone” signaling by enabling the spatiotemporal delivery of Nell‐1. This activation enhances neurovascular and bone regeneration through the CYFIP1 cascade. In rat calvarial defects, the platform doubled bone regeneration and nerve repair and tripled vascular density, resulting in superior ...

Numerical Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Members with Basalt Fibre Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Bars

Civil and Environmental Engineering
Since the beginning of the use of reinforced concrete, harsh environments have been known to have some of the most damaging effects on it. Where, Chlorides and sulphates cause cracking of the concrete and corrosion of the reinforced steel.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Parametric design method of building structured cabling system oriented to data mining

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
This paper puts forward the method of secondary development and design software through the research of building structured cabling system (SCS), and uses data mining technology to carry out parametric design of building SCS. Then, the feasibility of the design is tested by comparing the data of the traditional design and the parametric design ...

Fibre use in concrete - including novel fibres that use the poison ratio to a positive effect for bond strength. [PDF]

, 2016
Fibres have been used in construction materials for thousands of years. Fibre reinforcement of building materials is not new, indeed the use of straw to reinforce bricks dates back to Egyptian times, also horse hair was commonly used to reinforce lime ...

Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...
