The Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with Steel Fiber Concrete Layer by ANSYS Simulation by Thanh Quang Khai Lam, Thi My Dung Do

“…This study investigated the following six cases: how the addition of SFs affects the properties of concrete, the spacing of the stirrups at the ends of the beam should be looked into to see what effects it might have, how the number of tensile steel bars in the beam affects its properties, how the diameter of tensile steel bars affects their properties, how the diameter of compressed steel bars affects the results, and how the thickness of the SFC layer affects the properties of the material. …”

L’ethnographie militaire aux origines de la « politique berbère » du protectorat français au Maroc (1912-1915) by Mathieu Marly

“…These archives of military ethnography were spaces of experimentation and uncertainty, in which officers analyzed information collected on “indigenous” populations, developed often contradictory hypotheses, and selected and forgot data, before their observations were fixed by the “Berber policy” of the French Protectorate in Morocco.This article first focuses on the prejudices that officers had toward the political legitimacy of the Maghzen, the “religious lukewarmness” of Berber populations, and the political role of the tribal framework in Morocco. …”

Evaluation of Induced Settlements of Piled Rafts in the Coupled Static-Dynamic Loads Using Neural Networks and Evolutionary Polynomial Regression by Ali Ghorbani, Mostafa Firouzi Niavol

“…Analyses are performed with respect to different axial loads and pile’s configurations, numbers, lengths, diameters, and spacing for both loading cases. Based on the results of well-validated three-dimensional finite difference modeling, artificial neural networks and evolutionary polynomial regressions are then applied and introduced as capable methods to accurately present both static and coupled static-dynamic settlements. …”

Dubai transient city. Anatomy of a post-urban phenomenon by Tiziano Aglieri Rinella

“…Its very fast and uncontainable growth has generated massive phenomena of urban sprawl and proliferation of junk spaces. Hi-density zones are alternated to vast desert unbuilt areas, in a fragmented urban landscape that generates, in many European expats, a diffused estranging ‘uncanny’ feeling. …”

Retrofitting of box section concrete beams to resist shear and torsion using Near-Surface-Mount (NSM) GFRP Stirrups by Moaz A. Nasser, Ahmed A. Mahmoud, Tarek S. Mustafa, Ahmed N. M. Khater

“…Three variables are adopted, (1) GFRP stirrups diameter, (2) GFRP stirrups inclination, and (3) GFRP stirrups spacing. The experimental results showed considerable enhancement in the shear capacity of the strengthened beams by 8 to 56% depending on the effectiveness of the studied parameters. …”

Gestion des sols et des substrats pour la nature et l’agriculture urbaines à Strasbourg : vers un renouvellement des représentations et des pratiques des circulations de matière ?... by Adrien Baysse-Lainé, Laure Cormier, Kevin Gaulier

“…Based on an exploratory qualitative survey in Strasbourg, the article investigates the modes of soil management in urban nature and agricultural projects between which tensions exist due to the differing conceptions of soils as (situated) ecosystems and as materials (to be employed for producing spaces and landscapes defined ex ante). Soil inputs from outside the sites in development are part of a linear economy, while the production of soil amendments (primarily compost) from urban waste illustrates the trend towards a circular economy. …”
