Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Seismic performance of bridge pier integrated by multiple steel pipes with directly-connected piles using soil-water coupled three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis

open access: yesSoils and Foundations
A bridge pier integrated by multiple steel pipes with directly-connected piles was proposed as a way to design a rational foundation for bridge pier structures, and its feasibility was examined by comparing its seismic behaviour with that of a bridge ...

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a

Impacts of bridge-pier types on balancing ice jams: an experimental study

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2018
The presence of ice jam increases the possibility of upstream water level, which can easily trigger ice jam flooding. Bridge pier types can significantly influence backwater heights.

Near-Fault Seismic Response Analysis of Bridges Considering Girder Impact and Pier Size

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
Given the influence of near-fault vertical seismic action, we established a girder-spring-damping-rod model of a double-span continuous girder bridge and used the transient wave function expansion method and indirect modal function method to calculate ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.
