Gyroid metamaterials are chiral network structures that have the potential to be fabricated through block-copolymer templating. In article number 2200363, Bryan Cote, Vivian Ferry, and co-workers uncover contributions of surface bulk interactions on circular dichroism spectra generated by this metamaterial design. Surface found play a significant role in films silver-infilled gyroid metamateria...

This paper presents the development of an experimental campaign to investigate cyclic, out-of-plane response reinforced concrete frames containing masonry infill walls, using non-contact optical techniques measure contour strains and deformations. Bare RC frames, as well fully infilled both with without window door openings, were tested in laboratory. From analysis results, it was found that ne...

Dome-building volcanoes often develop by intrusion and extrusion, recurrent destabilization sector collapses, renewed volcanic growth inside the collapse embayment. However, details of structural architecture affiliated with activity influences regional structures remain poorly understood. Here, we analyze recent Shiveluch volcano, Kamchatka Peninsula, characterized repeated episodes lava dome ...

Desert sand foamed concrete (DSFC), which offers advantages, such as fire resistance, sound insulation, construction convenience, and environmental benefits, has not been used in cold-formed steel (CFS) composite floors. In this study, four full-scale specimens were designed tested under four-point bending to investigate the effect of filling holes. The load–deflection curves strain distributio...

This paper deals with modelling strategies for the updating of Finite Element Models (FEMs) infilled Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame buildings. As is known, this building typology most adopted worldwide residential houses and strategic buildings, such as hospitals, schools, police stations, etc. The importance achieving trustworthy numerical models these kinds structures, especially latter ones,...
