Abstract Humanity – the virtue enabling meaningful human connection – is vital to the leadership we need to survive our polycrisis context. As a prerequisite to sustainable human community, the virtue of humanity is considered universal. It has been claimed as a ‘higher‐order virtue’, comprised of and enacted by – but irreducible to – a suite of ‘lower‐

Probabilistic seismic risk assessment of adjacent colliding r/c inelastic structures accounting for record-to-record variability [PDF]
Seismically excited adjacent buildings with equal floor heights and with inadequate clearance may interact/collide due to out of phase response developing slab-to-slab pounding forces which, although do not induce local damage to structural members, they
