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 ...

Abstract Accelerated urbanization has intensified environmental concerns due to excessive natural resource consumption and construction waste generation. Circular concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) columns incorporating manufactured sand recycled coarse aggregate (MS‐RCA) concrete have emerged as an innovative composite element offering notable ...

Rotation capacity of continuous reinforced concrete slab strips revisited
Abstract Rotation capacity is a key characteristic of statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures, as it (i) enables bending moment redistributions, whether intentionally introduced through optimized reinforcement layouts or arising from unforeseen self‐equilibrated stress states, and (ii) promotes large rotations at failure load, thereby ...

Abstract Current design provisions for punching shear in foundations, including Eurocode 2 (2023) and fib Model Code 2020, are mechanically based models partly calibrated against experimental data from isolated flat slabs and foundation specimens. The available experimental database for foundations is small and only partly representative of realistic ...

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

A 4D X‐ray computed tomography experimental campaign was carried out on a porous carbonate rock to investigate the link between initial porosity and deformation modes. This paper presents the experiment and the methods used to explore this relationship.The study of the mechanical behaviour of carbonate rocks has benefited from the evolution of ...

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.
