Smart ultra-high-performance concrete under cyclic high compressive stress

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The self-stress sensing response of smart ultra-high-performance concrete (S-UHPC) under high cyclic compressive stress was investigated at different temperatures between 15 °C and 35 °C as a basic study for understanding the effects of temperature on ...

‘It's all very well having a diverse curriculum, but if there is no curriculum, it can be as diverse as you like’: Precarity and decolonising in the neoliberal UK higher education system

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing upon interview research across two academic departments as part of the early stages of a ‘decolonise the curriculum’ initiative at a Southern UK university, this study highlights a growing gulf between policy and practice in efforts to address systemic racial inequalities in UK universities. A reliance upon precarious labour, a culture

The impact of the current student loans regime on Muslim student engagement and retention in English higher education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract There is much interest in the potential for an alternative funding system for higher education students in England to support the spiritual and worldly needs of British Muslim students. At the heart of this issue lies a tension over whether the student financing system in English HE is haram, or forbidden under Islamic (Shari'ah) law, because ...

Exploring strength and ductility responses of beam-column joints composed UHPC and UHPFRC employing concrete damaged plasticity

Fracture and Structural Integrity
Structures subjected to severe loads, such as earthquakes, often develop cracks at the beam-column joints, underscoring the significance of these regions in design. This study focuses on a comparative analysis of beam-column joints constructed with Ultra-

“They say we're a rights‐respecting school but nobody knows what that really means”: Children's rights implementation in a Scottish secondary school

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Education has been an enduring feature of international human rights law since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and is the only human right that is compulsory for children. Appearing in all major human rights treaties, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, education is multidimensional and a multiplier of ...
