Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

Optimistic Mix-net protocol based on bilinear pairings

Tongxin xuebao, 2013
A novel pairing-based optimistic Mix-net scheme was proposed. The key management is made easier by em-ploying bilinear paring primitives and there is no need for the participating mix servers to re-generate keys jointly be-tween mix-sessions to avoid ...

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Certificateless short sequential and broadcast multisignature schemes using elliptic curve bilinear pairings

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2014
Several certificateless short signature and multisignature schemes based on traditional public key infrastructure (PKI) or identity-based cryptosystem (IBC) have been proposed in the literature; however, no certificateless short sequential (or serial ...

Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Tightly-Secure Simulation-Sound Quasi-Adaptive NIZK Arguments

IEEE Access
Quasi-adaptive non-interactive zero-knowledge (QA-NIZK) arguments are fundamental cryptographic primitives widely used in privacy-preserving technologies such as anonymous credentials, group signatures, e-cash, and blockchain-based applications.

Threshold Asymmetric Conditional Autoregressive Range (TACARR) Model

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a Threshold Asymmetric Conditional Autoregressive Range (TACARR) model for analyzing the daily price ranges of financial assets. The proposed formulation assumes that the conditional expected range switches between two regimes, representing upward and downward market states, with the disturbance distribution also allowed ...

Line Graphs of Multigraphs and the Forbidden Graph E 6

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The line graph Γ of a multigraph Δ is the graph whose vertices are the edges of Δ, where two such edges are adjacent if and only if they meet in a single vertex of Δ. We provide several characterizations of such line graphs and in particular show that a graph is a line graph if and only if it does not contain one of the 32 graphs, all of which
