BIM Integration in Civil Engineering Curricula: Maturity Assessment, Pilot Testing, and Roadmap Design

The growing digitalization of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has increased the demand for graduates with strong BIM-related competencies, yet many undergraduate programs—particularly in emerging economies—still approach BIM in a fragmented and software-centered way. This study report...

Modeling Crack Behavior around Holes in Glulam Beams Using the WoodST Constitutive Model Based on Continuum Damage Mechanics

The integration of service holes in glulam beams is increasingly common in mass timber construction; however, these openings introduce stress concentrations that can compromise structural integrity through crack initiation and propagation. This study presents a robust numerical framework for simulating crack behavi...

Geometric Reconstruction-Driven Load Capacity Evaluation for Locally Buckled Steel Members

Conventional contact-based inspection techniques face significant challenges in accurately modeling the complex 3D geometry of locally buckled steel members, which hinder reliable assessment of their residual load-carrying capacity. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes a method for analyzing the bearing...

Critique of Lower-Margin Equations in Concrete Design Codes and of Their Effect on Structural Safety Software

It is generally agreed that engineered structures, whether bridges or aircraft, should be designed to have failure probability no higher than 10 − 6 per lifetime. The safety analysis of concrete structures based on the current design codes cannot guarantee meeting this goal. While sophistica...

Multiscale Fresh Tea Leaves Sorting Device with Drum-axial Airflow Coupling: Design and Performance Test

To address the problems of low sorting accuracy and poor operation stability caused by physical leaf entanglement in traditional drum screening of fresh tea leaves, a multiscale fresh tea leaf sorting system with drum-axial airflow coupling based on intelligent control was designed. The axial moving distances of fresh...

Exception handling bugs in Python: An empirical study of root causes, fix patterns, and anti-patterns

Analysis of exception handling bugs in Python projects reveals systematic relationships between root causes and repair strategies, indicating that exception handling bugs often follow predictable patterns.

Constitutional Midtraining: Content Presence Drives Alignment Gains

Post-training alignment is often shallow, eroding under fine-tuning. It remains untested as to whether constitutional midtraining interventions can produce durable alignment when cleanly isolated from post-training. We build a 394M-token constitutional corpus from Anthropic's Constitution and apply constitutional midtr...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
