Strip loading in reinforced concrete: Mechanical modeling and experimental validation
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Strip loading of reinforced concrete is a common problem in engineering practice. The concrete compressive strength at the load introduction can be several times higher than the uniaxial concrete compressive strength, which can be attributed to geometrical and passive confining stresses caused by load dispersion and reinforcement, respectively.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.

Strip loading in steel fiber reinforced concrete: Experimental and theoretical investigation
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fiber reinforced concrete is becoming increasingly popular in engineering practice due to its high robustness, post‐cracking behavior, and crack control. For strip loading, as common, for example, in longitudinal joints of tunnel lining segments, the use of fiber reinforced concrete has the potential to reduce conventional reinforcement ...

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background In bipolar disorder (BD), physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are prevalent and have been linked to BD's cognitive symptoms, although the directionality of these links is not clear. This proof‐of‐concept study examined whether cognitive function during mid‐ and later‐life was prospectively related to physical activity and ...
