Using Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Precast Panels for Strengthening in Shear of Beams: An Experimental and Analytical Investigation by Pitcha Jongvivatsakul, Linh V. H. Bui, Theethawachr Koyekaewphring, Atichon Kunawisarut, Narawit Hemstapat, Boonchai Stitmannaithum

“…In this paper, the performances of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) panels are investigated through experiment, analytical computation, and numerical analysis. An experimental program of RC beams strengthened by using SFRC panels, which were attached to both sides of the beams, is carried out to investigate the effects of fiber volume fraction, connection type, and number and diameter of bolts on the structural responses of the retrofitted beams. …”

A review of mixed-integer linear formulations for framework-based energy system models by Maximilian Hoffmann, Bruno U. Schyska, Julian Bartels, Tristan Pelser, Johannes Behrens, Manuel Wetzel, Hans Christian Gils, Chuen-Fung Tang, Marius Tillmanns, Jan Stock, André Xhonneux, Leander Kotzur, Aaron Praktiknjo, Thomas Vogt, Patrick Jochem, Jochen Linßen, Jann M. Weinand, Detlef Stolten

“…Consequently, numerous reviews have compared the capabilities and application cases of established energy system optimization frameworks with respect to their model features or adaptability but widely neglect the frameworks’ underlying mathematical structure. This limits their added value for users who not only want to use models but also program them themselves.To address this issue, we follow a hybrid approach by not only reviewing 63 optimization-based frameworks for energy system modeling with a focus on their mathematical implementation but also conducting a meta-review of 68 existing literature reviews.Our work reveals that the basic concept of network-based energy flow optimization has remained the same since the earliest publications in the 1970s. …”
