Mitigation of Restrained Plastic Shrinkage Cracks in Concrete: A Systematic Review on the Role of Chemical Admixtures

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Plastic shrinkage cracks are a major concern in concrete structures, arising from rapid moisture loss before the development of adequate tensile strength. These cracks compromise durability, increase permeability, and accelerate structural deterioration.

Mechanical and electrical properties of magnetically aligned micro steel fiber‐reinforced self‐compacting concrete

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 7653-7677, December 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the impact of magnetic alignment of micro steel fibers (0.35%, 0.70%, and 1.05% contents) on the mechanical and electrical properties of fiber‐reinforced self‐compacting concrete. A simplified magnetic circuit was designed and built to align the fibers within the concrete matrix.

Hypothesis generation from pragmatic causal relationships for latent knowledge reasoning in the civil engineering domain

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 29, Page 5447-5473, 9 December 2025.
Abstract Structural health monitoring (SHM) research generates vast amount of information, especially as unstructured data formats. To date, most natural language processing (NLP) applications focus on extracting information (syntactic or semantic level) rather than providing latent knowledge and generating newer information (pragmatic level).

Shear transfer model for ultra‐high‐performance concrete incorporating fiber bridging mechanism

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5999-6018, October 2025.
Abstract Ultra‐high‐performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, including high shear strength, partly attributed to the fiber bridging mechanism. However, existing shear transfer models for normal‐strength concrete have not considered the significant contribution of fibers.

Cyclic bending behavior of pre‐cracked thin‐walled elements in high performance fiber reinforced concrete

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 6057-6073, October 2025.
Abstract High‐performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) is increasingly being adopted for thin elements, such as façade panels, due to its outstanding mechanical properties and attractive finishes. These elements endure cyclic loads during their service life, impacting material properties and potentially leading to fatigue failures, particularly in
