Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Log-Linear Model Analysis of Aftershock Sequences: A Review on the 6 February Earthquakes in Turkey
Researchers have conducted numerous studies on earthquakes and aftershocks, some of which have utilized statistical analysis methods. However, there is no direct research examining the interaction between variables thought to influence aftershocks ...

Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

Distribution of Strongest Aftershock Magnitudes in Mining-Induced Seismicity
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.

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.

Some Aspects about Seismology of 2012 August 11 Ahar-Vaezaghan (Azarbayjan, NW of Persia) Earthquakes Sequences [PDF]
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).

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,

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.

I stumbled when I saw: Fieldwork, fallibility, and the politics of being wrong
Abstract What does it mean for an anthropologist to be wrong? This essay takes the question seriously in two registers at once: the everyday mistakes of fieldwork, from mistranslating a greeting to misreading a shaved head as a sign of mourning, and the deeper entitlement through which our discipline claimed authority over other people's languages and ...
