The program "ST method" for determining the Strut-and-Tie models of RC plane members
Preliminary notes The paper presents a proposal for determining the Strut-and-Tie models of reinforced concrete plane members using the discrete topology optimization, which involves the truss system for calculation of the stress-strain state of a real ...

A Comprehensive Review and Analysis of Shear Strengthening of RC Beams with External Prestressing Bars [PDF]
Shear failure in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, characterized by their sudden and brittle nature, often results from inadequate shear reinforcement or degradation due to aging or increased loading demands.

Experimental Verification of Strut and Tie Model Design Method [PDF]
Although strut-and-tie models (STM) appear to provide safe, lower-bound designs for irregular concrete members, there have not been many experimental validations of them. This paper presents the result from two series of testing of STM specimens. In the first series, 6 specimens having different reinforcing designs but the same overall geometry and ...

Strategies for the Selection and Application of Biological Scaffolds in Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Systems
Organ‐on‐a‐chip (OoC) serves as a promising microphysiological platform for drug screening, disease modeling, and toxicity assessment. Biomimetic scaffolds are core components that determine the performance of OoC systems by mimicking the in vivo extracellular microenvironment.

Prediction of the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams with web openings using the finite ele
The exact analysis of reinforced concrete deep beams is a complex problem and the presence of web openings aggravates the situation. However, no code provision exists for the analysis of deep beams with web opening.

Major Cybersecurity Breaches: Shaping Corporate Cybersecurity Policies and Closing the Gaps
ABSTRACT As digitalization accelerates, cybercrime has intensified in both scale and impact over the past two decades. This study aims to critically examine major cybersecurity events, assess them through the lens of routine activity theory, examine insight from three other established criminological and organizational theories, and address central ...

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war
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.
