Construction Sequence Analysis of High-Rise Structure with Creep and Shrinkage Effect
Abstract: This study deals with a time-dependent analysis of reinforced concrete G+40 RC frame structures considering the construction sequence with the effect of creep and shrinkage analysis. Because of the non-mechanical deformations induced by the time-dependent deformations of concrete, concrete structures usually present different behaviors when the construction sequences are changed, despite having the same structural configurations. Therefore, the time-dependent effects of concrete such as creep and shrinkage must be taken …

Linguistic Minimalism in Digital Communication: The Shrinking of Language in Hyper-Speed Communication Environments
Abstract: The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed linguistic practices, precipitating what we term "linguistic minimalism"—the systematic reduction of language to essential semantic components in hyper-speed communication environments. This research examines how contemporary digital platforms have catalyzed a contraction in linguistic expression through abbreviations, semantic compression, emoji symbolism, and strategic silence. Drawing on discourse analysis, pragmatics, and social semiotics, this study explores four interconnected dimensions: emojis and GIFs as primary meaning carriers, …
