Metal‐Free Submicron‐Hollow‐Fiber Conjugated Polymer Sponges for Efficient Pollutant Removal and Thermal Insulation

Small, EarlyView.
Mimicking natural tubular structures, metal‐free conjugated hollow fibers are synthesized via one‐pot Chichibabin condensation. Pyridinic networks spontaneously self‐assemble into submicron hollow fibers and entangle into spongy monoliths—without templates, metals, or post‐processing.

Performance analysis of strengthening reinforced concrete beams under pure torsion using galvanized steel sheets: Experimental and numerical investigation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) beams can be subjected to torsion, and failure due to torsion is brittle and poses a significant risk to occupants. Moreover, strengthening of existing RC beams in torsion may be required due to the upgrade of the structures or as part of structural rehabilitation.

Modeling the response of UHPC shear‐critical beams: Integrating nonlinear finite element analysis and artificial neural network

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Assessment of the factor κk,max in classification of steel fiber‐reinforced concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a general approach, and results employed in a study aimed at assessing the value of a coefficient, κk,max, introduced in Annex L in EN 1992‐1‐1:2023 (EC2). This coefficient defines an upper limit of the ratio between steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) characteristic and mean values of the residual tensile strengths, fR1
