Effect of Improvement of Collapsible Soils with Bitumen Emulsions on Collapsibility Rate for Varying Degrees of Saturation
Abstract: Collapsible soils are one of many problematic soils in Iraq. Many foundation failure problems that occurred in Iraq are associated with percolation of water; the change in the degree of saturation can affect the stability of these soils and may encounter large volumetric change. A series of tests conducted on collapsible soil using oedometer apparatus and the settlement–time curves are determined accurately, then each test is determined to a different …

Progressive Collapse Prevention Analysis of Multi-Storeyed Buildings by Using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: AbstractThis paper investigates an actual structure’s potential to break due to progressive collapse. This report looks into the progressive collapse resistance of high-rise RC structures. Progressive collapse of building constructions, primarily concentrates on concrete structures. Progressive collapse of a structure occurs when major structural load carrying members are removed suddenly. A progressive collapse is initiated as a consequence of local structural damages. It produces a chain reaction mechanism, into a …

Structural Integrity Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frames Under Progressive Collapse Scenarios
Abstract: This study examines how a tall reinforced concrete (RC) frame may gradually collapse under several column removal situations, such as edge, end, center, zigzag, and two-column failures. The study assesses the structural reaction based on displacement, inter-story drift, and Demand–Capacity Ratio (DCR) using nonlinear static pushover analysis carried out in ETABS. According to the analysis, the frame's stability is seriously jeopardized when two nearby columns and end columns are removed, …

Effect of Viscoelastic Dampers on Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Building
Abstract: Natural as well as man-made hazards may cause the failure of the primary load bearing members of buildings. The spread of an initial local failure from element to element, eventually result into the collapse of an entire structure or a large part of it, which is known as Progressive Collapse. Progressive collapse initiates when one or more primary load bearing elements get fails causing failure of the entire structure. It …

Hybrid Composite Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) Columns: Review of Collapse Mechanisms and Polymer-Based Enhancements
Abstract: Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns are an advanced hybrid composite system where the steel tube's confinement and the concrete core's load capacity work together to improve structural performance. While commonly used in civil engineering, CFSTs can also be understood within the framework of composite materials, similar to polymer- and fiber-reinforced composites, in which interactions between phases determine strength, ductility, and failure modes. This review compiles experimental and numerical research on …

Negative skin friction and Neutral plan on the pile in collapsible soil:A Review Study
Abstract: The use of the pile in geotechnical engineering has become interesting due to the many challenges facing the installation process and the problems that may occur suddenly during construction if it is not taken into account. construction of piles in collapsing soil such as soft soil or gypsum soil leads to losses in the bearing capacity of the pile by creating an imaginary additional loading that is above the pile …

Sustainability Challenges, Transition Dynamics, and Collapse of Small-Scale Poultry Farming Systems: Economic, Technical, and Environmental Perspectives
Abstract: Small-scale poultry farming plays a vital role in food security, income generation, and rural livelihoods globally. However, the sector is experiencing a rapid decline driven by interconnected economic, biological, environmental, and institutional challenges. This review synthesizes recent evidence and develops a systems-based framework to explain the depletion of small-scale poultry farms in the country. A dominant driver is the persistent cost–price imbalance, where rising input costs, particularly feed, are not …

Effect of Outriggers Location on Performance of RC Building Subjected to Loss of a Column
Abstract: Progressive collapse denotes a failure of substantial part of the structure, causing greater damage to the structure than the initial impact, which has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any vertical load carrying elements (typically columns). Failure of large part of any structure will result into substantial loss of human lives and natural resources. Therefore, it is important to prevent …

TRACE: Tracking the Loss of Memory Provenance in LLM Agents
Abstract: AI agents that carry memory across sessions gain better personalization and decision-making, but this persistence opens a serious security gap. When an agent repeatedly condenses earlier interactions into compact “lessons,” the trail linking each lesson back to the interaction that produced it gradually fades. We term this effect Reflective Attribution Collapse (RAC): the progressive loss of provenance and forensic traceability that results from repeated memory reflection. Under RAC, a malicious …

Performance Analysis of MEMS-based Ultrasonic Transducer with Different Membrane Materials
Abstract: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) follows the reciprocity principle in the same way as piezoelectric transducers and has proven to be a good alternative to conventional piezoelectric transducers in many aspects such as sensitivity, transduction efficiency and bandwidth. CMUT transducers like piezoelectric transducers operate on resonance frequency to get possible ultrasound output, and high sensitivity in reception. The performance of the CMUT is highly affected by material …

Finding The Most Sensitive Nodes on IEEE-14 Bus System and Adaptation of Protection Scheme
Abstract: Power system stability is one of the most significant concerns in power system. Providing continuous supply of electric energy to meet the load demand is a complex technical challenge. One of the main causes of voltage instability in a system is the occurrence of reactive power imbalance in the system. Reactive power will be unbalanced when there is a sudden increase or decrease in reactive power demand in the system. …

Elucidating the Role of Temperature in Reproductivity of Plants
Abstract: Analysis on plant counter to temperature stress accumulates interest because of the expanded mindfulness with respect to an unnatural weather change. High and low temperature stresses help in setting up the slight natural division of refined plants, the restricted geographic expansion of some other financially healthfully significant species, and furthermore produce lopsided connection for certain species. All things considered, the view of plant reprisal to temperature stress falls behind other …
