Comparative Study on Shear Reinforcement Performance of Prestressed Concrete Hollow Slab Beams in Existing Highways

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Insufficient shear resistance exists at the supports of old prestressed hollow slab beams in expressway reconstruction and expansion. Three full‐scale reinforcement tests show the combined stiffening ring hoop ranks best with a 25.8% increase, followed by diagonal reinforcement at 19.9% and vertical reinforcement at 15%, each suitable for different ...

Influences of Cleanliness, Carbide Size, Hardness, and Residual Stresses on Long‐Life Fatigue Strength and Crack‐Initiation Mechanisms in Carbide‐Rich Cold‐Work Tool Steels Using Normalized S–N Curves and Database‐Driven Validation of Murakami's √Area Model

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 10, Page 5221-5267, October 2026.
Rotating‐bending fatigue tests on AISI D2 and AISI A11 quantify how cleanliness, carbide structure, hardness, and fabrication‐induced compressive residual stresses govern long‐life fatigue at NG = 107 cycles. Statistical fracture‐surface analysis and extreme‐value √area statistics link crack‐initiators to LLF strength.

Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 6849-6880, October 2026.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 7048-7065, October 2026.
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 ...
