Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2719-2741, September 2026.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Study on Horizontal Displacement Response of Bridge Pier Tops Under Bidirectional Seismic Excitation
Shock and VibrationThe near-field vertical seismic action not only causes an increase in the pressure endured by the bridge pier but also exerts a remarkable influence on the horizontal deformation at the top of the pier.

Quantification of the Effect of Bridge Pier Encasement on Headwater Elevation Using HEC-RAS
Hydrology, 2019 The deterioration of bridge substructure is a serious concern across the United States. The pier encasement is one of the most common practices for repairing and strengthening the bridge substructure. It is a rehabilitation process of existing pile piers

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2930-2947, September 2026.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

What Does Intarsia Say? Materiality and Spirituality in the Urbino Studiolo☆
Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 712-738, September 2026.Abstract Upon entering the Urbino studiolo of Federico da Montefeltro, the visitor is struck by a material‐charged environment. Surprisingly, only a few scholars have addressed one prominent aspect of the decorative scheme, namely, the feature of intarsia as a medium. Even so, it remains on the sidelines of the discussion.
