Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2008 There are many methods to calculate castellated steel beams; however, neither of these methods determines the rational cross‐section selection. Selecting the rational cross‐section induces a significant reduction in the quantity of steel. A new algorithm

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Circular economy (CE) is increasingly adopted by the manufacturing industry to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste generation. Nevertheless, circular manufacturing often triggers systemic responses that diminish or offset their potential environmental gains, resulting in the so ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between industrial robotics adoption and ecological capacity, measured by biocapacity, using panel data from 50 countries over the period 2000–2024. We investigate the transmission mechanisms, non‐linearities, spatial spillovers, and heterogeneity characterizing this relationship.

Connecting Thoughts and Actions: A Managerial Process Model on Circular Business Model Innovation
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Addressing environmental grand challenges such as resource scarcity requires circular business model innovation (CBMI) that enables firms to efficiently close and slow resource cycles through novel activity systems. Drawing on a grounded theory approach based on 59 in‐depth interviews with top managers from Swiss SMEs, we developed a process ...

Numerical tests of steel beam-to-column semi-rigid connections
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2003 This paper presents an analysis of semi-rigid beam-to-column connections in which the beam is connected to column not at 90 degrees angle. Beam-to-column bolted end-plate connections that are subjected to pure bending were modelled by three-dimensional ...
