Applying the Coulomb Failure Function with an optimally oriented plane to the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggering [PDF]
, 2010 The Coulomb failure function (CFF) quantitatively describes static stress changes in secondary faults near the source fault of an earthquake. CFF can be employed to monitor how static stress transfers and then shed some light on the probability of ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Some Aspects about Seismology of 2012 August 11 Ahar-Vaezaghan (Azarbayjan, NW of Persia) Earthquakes Sequences [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2013 In 2012 August 11 (12:23 UTC) a moderate earthquake with MW=6.4 (USGS) occurred between Ahar and Varzaghan towns in Azarbayjan Province at northwest of Iran. After eleven minutes another earthquake shook the area with MW=6.2 (USGS).

Distribution of Strongest Aftershock Magnitudes in Mining-Induced Seismicity
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The paper considers the distribution of magnitudes of the strongest aftershocks–depending on the time after the main shock–that occur during the extraction of minerals in tectonically loaded rock massifs.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Earthquakes often occur in clusters (foreshocks, mainshocks, and aftershocks) and can lead to cumulative structural damage. Many studies have extended traditional performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) to account for damage accumulation in multiple mainshock‐aftershock (MS‐AS) sequences using Markov chain processes and state‐dependent

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Early aftershocks contain important information about the physics of earthquake occurrence and postseismic relaxation processes. However, the standard catalogs of early aftershocks are usually incomplete. Many events can be missed in the main shock coda,

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract On February 6, 2023, southeastern Türkiye was struck by two catastrophic earthquakes (Mw: 7.7 and Mw: 7.6) along the East Anatolian Fault Zone, causing extensive structural failures and significant loss of life. This study evaluates the seismotectonic characteristics of the sequence, analyzes strong ground motion data against the Turkish ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate estimation of the damping ratio is critical for evaluating floor response spectra and equipment seismic demands in nuclear power plant structures. This study investigates the elastic damping ratio of reinforced concrete walls under limited damage states through shaking table tests and data‐driven modeling.

Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT At its core, transhumanism is utopic and apocalyptic: it tells us we will be saved through an imminent radical change of our being wrought by radical human enhancement (RHE) technologies. We are rushing, its supporters claim, towards a technological utopia so long as assorted techno‐phobes do not stand in the way.
