Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Repeatability and Parasitic Out‐of‐Plane Motion in Controlled Rocking Structures With Cylindrical Columns: Results From Triaxial Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Drainage Discharge Design for Improved Hydrologic Performance of a Blue-Green Roof

Journal of Water Management Modeling
Urban development has led to increased impervious surfaces, disrupting the natural hydrological cycle, and necessitating effective stormwater management solutions. Green stormwater infrastructure, such as green roofs, offers a sustainable approach to mitigate runoff volume and peak flow rates.

Thermal Analysis of Cells Behavior in Modular Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery System in Urban Electric Bus Fleet

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Real‐world analysis of lithium iron phosphate battery systems in electric buses shows minimal short‐term temperature impact on energy but significant long‐term degradation at higher temperatures. Efficient cooling and thermal uniformity are critical to prevent accelerated aging, maintain performance, and ensure safety under dynamic operating conditions.

Marine Isotope Stage 4 glaciation in northern England, UK: Evidence from Victoria Cave, North Yorkshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Victoria Cave, north Yorkshire, England, contains a long sequence of Pleistocene clastic sediments and calcite flowstones. Earlier work, using U–Th dating, established that the flowstone units formed in interglacial stages corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 13, 11, 9, 7 and 5.
