OCTOID: A Soft Robotic System Featuring Programmable Shape Morphing and Dynamic Structural Coloration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by octopuses, actuating legs based on soft materials are fabricated with programmed chiroptical properties and mechanical behaviors to achieve dynamic color modulation and reversible shape morphing, and these legs are developed into a modular OCTOID system.

Shaking table testing on seismic pounding of a RC building structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper describes unidirectional shaking table tests on seismic pounding of a 3-D RC building structure. Two inputs were considered: a seismic accelerogram and a harmonic wave.

Photoconductivity‐Driven Quantum Efficiency Gain in Inorganic Ruddlesden‐Popper Layered Cs2PbBr2I2 Perovskite Photodetector for Visible Light Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Rational halogen mixing strategy was employed to shift the bandgap of Cs2PbBr2I2 from ultraviolet to visible region, enabling first realization of a visible‐light photodetector with this 2D layered Ruddlesden‐Popper perovskite material. Under illumination, light‐induced internal field forms and drives trap‐mediated persistent photoconductivity ...

Comparative Study of Waffle Slab with Bracing System and Conventional Slabs without Bracing System

open access: yesInternational Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022
Abstract: The analysis and design of structures are influenced by earthquake ground motion. The objective of this work is to analyse a commercial building with two different slab configurations, including conventional slabs, grid/waffle slabs and structures with bracings.

Dual‐Atom Dopants Activated Ruthenium Single‐Atom Alloy Boosting Hydrogen Evolution Electrocatalysis in Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ni1‐Bi1 dual‐atom dopants are achieved for activating Ru lattices without blocking noble atoms. This model exhibits an ultralow overpotential of 11.4 mV and superb stability at 10 mA cm−2 toward hydrogen evolution reaction, enabling a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer that needs only 2.233 V to reach 3.0 A cm−2 and operates stably at 1.0 A cm−

Assessment of Cost Variation in Solid and Hollow Floor Construction in Lagos State [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Design and the Built Environment, 2013
The differences in construction methods between different forms of slabs construction tend to result into variation in the cost of the slabs for any building project.

Why did modern post-tensioned floors flourish in the us and not in europe -a matter of tradition? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Unlike in Europe, prestressed concrete with post-tensioned reinforcement came to be a standard technique in building construction in the US. Kenneth Bondy has been the only one who has made a significant contribution to clarify why this occurred, by ...
