Is Reading an Upstream Predictor of Science and Mathematics Achievements in PISA? A Bayesian Network Analysis for Policy Educational Interventions on Socio‐Economic Dispersion and Gender Gaps

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the structural relationships among reading, science and mathematics performance, socio‐economic dispersion (SES_Variance) and gender gaps using cross‐country PISA 2022 data. The primary objective is to assess whether reading functions as an upstream determinant of academic achievement and to evaluate the causal roles of

Numerically efficient mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete membrane elements with fixed, interlocked cracks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Compression field approaches such as the Cracked Membrane Model with fixed, interlocked cracks (CMM‐F) are efficient tools for the mechanical modeling of reinforced concrete elements, providing the mechanical model σ=fε$$ \boldsymbol{\upsigma} =f\left(\boldsymbol{\upvarepsilon} \right) $$ required for finite element analyses.

Reverse engineering strut‐and‐tie models for assessing reinforced concrete structures

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Strut‐and‐tie models enable the design of reinforced concrete structures with static or geometrical discontinuities, providing interpretability and control over the load path. These models are valuable for designing discontinuity regions of new structures and for validating nonlinear finite‐element analysis results. However, developing a strut‐

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...
