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 ...

Identification and spatiotemporal organization of aftershocks
We propose a fast method able to discriminate between Poissonian independent earthquakes and aftershocks. The method is based on the evaluation of the variability coefficient, defined as the ratio between the standard deviation and the average value of ...

Earthquake early warning (EEW) can reduce injuries and damage by issuing alerts before incoming shaking. We evaluate the Propagation of Local Undamped Motion (PLUM) algorithm as a candidate for a national EEW system for Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). We develop and demonstrate a novel methodology for evaluating EEW performance under a wide range of future ...

Poroelastic relaxation and aftershocks of the 2001 Bhuj earthquake, India
We analyse aftershocks of the 26 January 2001 Bhuj earthquake, India, that were recorded for 10 weeks following the mainshock. We calculate undrained or instantaneous pore pressure and change in Coulomb stress due to the earthquake and their poroelastic ...

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 ...

The 2015 Gorkha Nepal Earthquake: Insights from Earthquake Damage Survey
The 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake caused tremendous damage and loss. To gain valuable lessons from this tragic event, an earthquake damage investigation team was dispatched to Nepal from 1 May 2015 to 7 May 2015.

Abstract The 2010 Yushu (eastern Tibetan Plateau) Ms 7.1 strike‐slip earthquake ruptured unilaterally toward the southeast but left a hypocentral segment without mapped surface rupture, followed by a two‐stage reorganization of aftershocks. We present a 3‐D electrical resistivity model from 70 quality‐controlled magnetotelluric sites acquired shortly ...

Interview with Paul Makeham, original "Aftershocks" cast member [PDF]
I was one of eight researchers who were part of the Worker' Cultural Action Committee (WCAC), an arts and cultural organisation affiliated with Newcastle Workers' Club. Our job was to work with writer Paul Brown, and co-directors Brent McGregor and David

Abstract Understanding fault geometry and mechanics is key to interpreting the seismotectonic setting of a region. We analyze data from a 1‐year dense seismic array deployment in Southern Italy to infer focal mechanisms and stress field from low‐magnitude earthquakes using machine‐learning techniques.
