Structural behavior of deteriorated Gerber half‐joints in highway overpasses by nonlinear finite element analysis combined with a simplified uniform‐corrosion model

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...

Recent advances in embedded technologies and self‐sensing concrete for structural health monitoring

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fully embedded and spatially diffuse sensors are central to the advancement of civil and construction engineering. Indeed, they serve as an enabling technology necessary for addressing the current challenges associated with through‐life management and structural health monitoring of existing structures and infrastructures. The need to identify

Reliability and partial factor‐based assessment of a highway bridge supported by nondestructive testing

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The preservation of the degrading transport infrastructure is vital, as replacing it is impossible in view of limited budgets and environmental impacts. One component in overcoming this challenge is the evaluation of the reliability and the calculation of the remaining service life of existing structures.

Investigations on the shear load‐bearing behavior of functionally graded concrete beams with mineral hollow spheres

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The technology of functionally graded concrete (FGC) enables a significant reduction in the mass of concrete components while maintaining all structural and functional requirements through a targeted design of the interior of components. The present work deals with the principle of meso‐gradation, where spherical mineral hollow bodies are ...

On the effectiveness of shear reinforcement type in GFRP‐reinforced concrete beams: Experimental study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the shear performance of concrete beams with GFRP stirrups vs. traditional steel stirrups. Longitudinal glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars were used to doubly reinforce the tested beams at both the top and bottom of their cross sections. To accomplish this, several stirrup spacings were provided.

Trust at Your Own Peril: A Mixed Methods Exploration of the Ability of Large Language Models to Generate Expert‐Like Systems Engineering Artifacts and a Characterization of Failure Modes

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multi‐purpose large language models (LLMs), a subset of generative artificial intelligence (AI), have recently made significant progress. While expectations for LLMs to assist systems engineering (SE) tasks are paramount; the interdisciplinary and complex nature of systems, along with the need to synthesize deep‐domain knowledge and ...

Enteroscopic Balloon Dilation in Small Bowel Stricturing Crohn’s Disease: Long‐Term Outcomes and Risk Factors for Surgery in a Single‐Center Prospective Observational Study

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The long‐term outcomes of enteroscopic balloon dilation for small bowel strictures in patients with Crohn’s disease are not well understood. Although Crohn’s strictures can be classified into web‐like, ulcerated, and spindle‐shaped strictures based on endoscopic findings, the outcomes of enteroscopic balloon dilation ...
