Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 15, Page 3796-3817, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 15, Page 4088-4112, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Biomechanical, Structural, and Composition Characterization of the Vertebra‐Disc Interface

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The spinal endplate region consists of the cartilage endplate (CEP), bony endplate (BEP), and subchondral trabecular bone (STB). Although this region is often involved in vertebral fractures and disrupted with disc degeneration, the biomechanics of these tissues are incompletely understood. The goal of this study was to characterize

Additive Manufacturing of Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Polypropylene and Its Behavior Under Controlled Hydrogen Exposure

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 21, Page 19563-19577, 10 November 2026.
Experimental and numerical assessment of GFRPP under lower experimental hydrogen pressures using tensile testing, SEM analysis, and hydrogen uptake estimation. ABSTRACT Glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (GFRPP) composites are increasingly explored for hydrogen transport and storage due to their lightweight nature and corrosion resistance.

Dental Rehabilitation of the Scapular Tip in Maxillary Reconstruction

open access: yesHead &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 3083-3088, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The fibula‐free flap has traditionally been utilized to perform dental rehabilitation following maxillectomy. The purpose of this study is to present our experience with dental implantation of the scapula–tip‐free flap in midface reconstruction.
