Investigating strut and tie model in deep beams [PDF]
The Strut-and-Tie model (STM) approach evolves as one of the most useful design methods for shear critical structures and for other disturbed regions in concrete structures. The model provides a rational approach by representing a complex structural member with an appropriate simplified truss model.

Generation of Strut-and-Tie Models and Stress Fields for Structural Concrete [PDF]
Strut-and-tie models are principally the discretized stress fields, which simplify the dimensioning and detailing of reinforced concrete members. The computational generation of stress fields currently relies on finite element analysis or optimization methods.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Numerical analyses of two-pile caps considering lateral friction between the piles and soil
: Pile caps are structural elements used to transfer loads from the superstructure to a group of piles. The design of caps is normally based on analytical formulations, considering the strut and tie method. Through the advance of computational technology,

Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

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 ...

Experimental results and limit load analysis by the strut-and-tie method (STM) in deep beams with notches and openings [PDF]
This article presents experimental results of eight non-aligned, non-geometrically symmetrical deep beams with notches and openings. The variables considered in the study were the presence of web reinforcement, and the geometry of the deep beams.

Performance-Based Optimization for Strut-Tie Modeling of Structural Concrete [PDF]
Conventional trial-and-error methods are not efficient in developing appropriate strut-and-tie models in complex structural concrete members. This paper describes a performance-based optimization (PBO) technique for automatically producing optimal strut ...
