Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The reinforcement corrosion is one of the main degradation mechanisms in reinforced concrete structures. Its effects can harm structural elements by reducing mechanical capacity, mainly due to diminished reinforcement properties and expansive reactions within the concrete.

How dense can one pack spheres of arbitrary size distribution?
, 2012 We present the first systematic algorithm to estimate the maximum packing density of spheres when the grain sizes are drawn from an arbitrary size distribution. With an Apollonian filling rule, we implement our technique for disks in 2d and spheres in 3d.

Isolate Specific Cold Response of Yersinia enterocolitica in Transcriptional, Proteomic, and Membrane Physiological Changes [PDF]
, 2020 Yersinia enterocolitica, a zoonotic foodborne pathogen, is able to withstand low temperatures. This psychrotrophic ability allows it to multiply in food stored in refrigerators. However, little is known about the Y. enterocolitica cold response.

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 27, 2 April 2026.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Distributed AutoML framework for multi‐objective optimization of concrete crack segmentation models
Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 998-1019, February 2026.Abstract Monitoring cracks in concrete surfaces is essential for structural safety. While machine vision techniques have received significant interest in this domain, selecting optimal models and tuning hyperparameters remain challenging. This paper proposes a Distributed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) framework for efficiently designing and ...
