Failure mode classification for reinforced concrete members using data-driven approaches by Ong, Billy

“…This study aims to classify images of reinforced concrete (RC) structures by examining characteristic crack patterns associated with specific failure modes in RC columns, beams, and walls. Post-classification, shear strength equations are employed to determine the shear force to predicted shear strength ratio (m), utilizing various parameters obtained from the collected database. …”

Associations between violence in childhood, depression and suicide attempts in adolescence: evidence from a cohort study in Luwero district, Uganda by Akunzirwe, R, Carter, DJ, Hanna, L, Zinke-Allmang, A, Akim, A, Datzberger, S, Parkes, J, Knight, L, Atuhaire, L, Nakuti, J, Mirembe, A, Allen, E, Naker, D, Devries, K, Bhatia, A

“…However, few studies use longitudinal data from low- and middle-income countries with attention to how associations differ by experiencing specific types of violence or alongside different contexts of peer and family support. In this study, we quantify the association between experiences of violence in early adolescence and depression and suicide attempts in late adolescence and explore whether this association is modified by family and peer connectedness. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…Due to the inconsistent deformation in concrete and FRP laminate, relative slip and corresponding shear stress is created between the concrete and FRP and the bond of the interface eventually fails by shear debonding. …”
