Cracking of reinforced concrete and the use of flexible cables as transverse reinforcement
Le dimensionnement des ouvrages en béton armé les plus sollicités pose plus que jamais la question de la mise en place des armatures tant leur encombrement devient important. Sous réserve que les armatures puissent être correctement positionnées, le coulage du béton reste délicat. La pose des armatures est ralentie et des défauts de fabrication peuvent

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.
