New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in modern construction.

Abstract: Based on the theory of acoustic elasticity, the relationship between ultrasonic body wave (shear wave and longitudinal wave) and stress is studied, and the technology of bolt axial stress ...

The Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) has been developed since 1985 to assess the shear resistance of members without shear reinforcement and the punching shear resistance of reinforced concrete ...

Reinforced concrete elements with a high longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratio may present conflicts on both of them, resulting in reduced labor productivity and a poor job when assembling ...

Abstract: Traditionally, venous stents have been employed to maintain vessel patency in cases of venous obstruction. Recent advancements in stent-electrode technology have broadened their application ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a central regulator of vascular homeostasis and a key determinant of saphenous vein graft (SVG) outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Endothelial dysfunction, driven ...
