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

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
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 ...

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)‐powered design framework for lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance composites (SH‐UHPC)

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Lightweight strain‐hardening ultra‐high‐performance concrete composite (SH‐UHPC) is an outstanding alternative for engineering applications and infrastructure thanks to its outstanding strength, toughness, ductility, and low density. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)‐based modeling strategies into engineering problems can ...

Extending the Reach of the ‘Etridge Protocol’ to So‐called ‘Hybrid’ Scenarios: Waller‐Edwards v One Savings Bank Plc

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
In Waller‐Edwards v One Savings Bank Plc, the Supreme Court addressed, for the first time, the significant question of whether banks were put on constructive notice of potential undue influence in so‐called ‘hybrid’ scenarios. ‘Hybrid’ scenarios are those in which loan monies are advanced to a couple partly for their joint benefit and partly for one ...

THE CONTESTED CITY OF VENICE: Caring for Commodified Common Infrastructures in a Touristified Environment

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this essay I reveal contested common infrastructures in the interplay between vanishing public infrastructures in Venice and lack of care by governmental actors in a city with a shrinking number of inhabitants. I examine care and commodified public infrastructures in heritage cities facing mass tourism and climate change effects by zooming ...

Clinical and self‐reported measurements to be included in the core elements of the World Dental Federation's theoretical framework of oral health

open access: yesInternational Dental Journal, EarlyView., 2020
Introduction Oral health is part of general health, and oral diseases share risk factors with several non‐communicable diseases. The World Dental Federation (FDI) has published a theoretical framework illustrating the complex interactions between the core elements of oral health (CEOHs): driving determinants, moderating factors, and general health and ...

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...

Far From Routine: Employers' Recruitment and Control Strategies in Two Low Wage Sectors

open access: yesHuman Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contrary to HRM's prevailing view that low wage work is routine and not requiring specific HR strategies, this study reveals how employers within low wage sectors pursue active and diverse strategies to segment the labour force and shape the work package.
