Retraction notice: Comparison of flexural capacity of different hollow slab beams with/without pavement layer reinforced by steel plates

The publisher of Multidiscipline Modeling in Materials and Structures wishes to retract the article Liu, L., Wang, L. and Xiao, Z. (2022), “Comparison of flexural capacity of different hollow slab beams with/without pavement layer reinforced by steel plates”, Multidiscipline Modeling in Materials and Structures, Vol. 18 No. 1, pp. 95–110, https://doi.org/10.1108/MMMS-07-2021-0134. It has come to our attention that a large portion of this article is taken, without full and proper attribution, from an earlier work by Long Liu, Lifeng Wang, Ziwang Xiao (2021) “Flexural bearing capacity of RC hollow slab beam strengthened by steel plates of different thicknesses,” International Journal of Structural Integrity, Vol. 12 No. 4, pp. 613–628, https://doi.org/10.1108/IJSI-04-2021-0041. The submission guidelines for Multidiscipline Modeling in Materials and Structures make it clear that articles must be original. The publisher of the journal sincerely apologizes to the readers.
