Abstract When I am unable to drive due to a road blockade, there seems to be a morally relevant difference between a case in which the road is blocked by workers and a case in which the road is blocked by a landslide.

An effective multi-modal and adaptive pushover procedure for buildings
An effective multi-modal and adaptive pushover (non-linear static) analysis (PA) procedure is presented for determination of earthquake response of building type structures affected from the higher modes. In the procedure, non-linear yield conditions of column elements and geometrical non-linearity (P-delta) effects are linearized.

ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023).
