Effect of Antioxidants and Compatibilizers on Gel Formation and Film Quality of Polyethylene Films With Recycled Content

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This paper and evaluates the quality variations that arise from the difference in PCR PE batches of the commercially produced films with PCR PE content then studies the effect of antioxidants and compatibilizers on the gel presence and seal characteristics of packaging films produced from 100% PCR PE.

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.

Simple and detailed modeling of corrosion‐affected slender shear critical RC beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of steel bars compromises both the safety and the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Consequently, reliable tools are required to estimate the detrimental effects of corrosion on the structural response of RC members subjected to transverse loads.

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Vision language models for bridge inspections: A review of applications in image‐based damage documentation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...

Testing and modeling reinforced 3D concrete printing

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) provides several advantages, including construction productivity and sustainability, although the presence of cold joints reduces structural performance, particularly in zones subjected to tensile stresses. In addition, it is difficult to reinforce 3DCP structures with conventional steel rebars, generally used to ...

Epiglottis Collapse in Individuals With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by repeated upper airway collapse during sleep. The epiglottis, often overlooked in conventional assessments, has emerged as a site of significant obstruction in OSA.
