Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the shear capacity behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams without stirrups incorporating recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). An extensive database comprising 269 experimental data points from 40 journal articles published between 2001 and 2025 was compiled, excluding specimens with recycled fine aggregate or fiber ...

Application of strut-and-tie model on eccentric columns
Mechanics, 2011 The popular strut-and-tie model is currently de fined by EC2 as a standard tool for simple structures. This paper explores the possibility of application of the strut and-tie model on more complex structures, specifically on the eccentric columns. Comparison with full numerical simulation shows that the strut-and-tie model can correctly predict the ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete dapped-end beams [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e MateriaisThe reinforced concrete dapped-ends present in beams, being regions of discontinuity, require non-trivial models for their analysis and design, such as the strut-and-tie model, the shear-friction model, and the finite element method.

Analysis of nodal stress on reinforced concrete two-pile caps supported on steel piles
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2020 : Reinforced concrete pile caps may be designed trough plastic models (strut and tie model) or models based on bending theory. The formulae available for verifying the stress is based on caps supported on concrete piles, with few studies about the stress

A unified shear stress limit for reinforced concrete beam design [PDF]
, 2015 Nine asymmetrically spanned reinforced concrete deep beams were designed and tested to unreinforced web crushing failure in this experimental study to establish the appropriate shear stress limit for beam design.

Experimental evaluation of optimized strut‐and‐tie models for a dapped beam
Structural Concrete, 2016 AbstractStrut‐and‐tie modelling constitutes a powerful tool for the design of complex structural reinforced concrete elements. It has been proved numerically that strut‐and‐tie (ST) models obtained using structural optimization methods produce designs that are more efficient.

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.
