Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
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 ...

Measuring and modelling deformation during the Dabbahu (Afar) rifting episode [PDF]

, 2010
In September 2005, a 60-km-long dyke intruded the Dabbahu segment of the Nubia-Arabia plate boundary (Afar, Ethiopia), marking the beginning of an ongoing rifting episode.

Numerical analysis of deformation in the upper part of subduction zones [PDF]

, 1981
The stresses and deformation in an accretionary prism, and the crystalline basement behind and beneath it, have been modelled using finite element analysis, assuming a visco-elastic Maxwell rheology for the rocks involved.

Influence of the Boundary Conditions on the Seismic Response of Existing Masonry Infills From In‐Plane and Dynamic Out‐of‐Plane Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...

A seismic study of the mid- and lower-crust beneath the sea of Bothnia: BABEL line 1 [PDF]

, 1994
In the Autumn of 1989, Durham University took part in the BABEL Project, a collaboration of scientists from five nations recording wide angle and normal incidence seismic data in the Baltic Shield.

An Intensity Measure‐Based Methodology for Ground Motion Orientation in Seismic Structural Assessment

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

Revealing Spatiotemporal Deformation Patterns Through Time-Dependent Clustering of GNSS Data in the Japanese Islands

Algorithms
Understanding the spatial and temporal structure of crustal deformation is essential for identifying tectonic blocks, assessing seismic hazard, and detecting precursory deformation associated with major megathrust earthquakes.

Development and Validation of a Seismic Design Method for Anchored Retaining Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls with multiple anchor levels are widely used as permanent excavation support systems for the construction of linear infrastructures. Yet, their seismic behaviour remains largely unexplored, and current design approaches rely on conventional procedures that do not adequately reflect the actual dynamic response of these systems ...

Optimization of Blasting‑Induced Roof Cutting Parameters in Key Stratum and Its Application in Gob‑Side Entry Retention Technology

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study addresses hard roof coal seam conditions by optimizing key stratum blasting‐cutting parameters through theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and field tests. It proposes calculation methods for blast hole spacing and delay timing based on stress wave theory, controlling roadway deformation within 35 mm, thereby enhancing resource ...

Characteristics Analysis and Stage Division of Class Ⅰ Gas Hydrate Deposit Developed by Vertical Well and Depressurization Based on Numerical Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The production process can be divided into two stages according to the relationship between the gas production rate and the decomposition gas rate. The ratio of cumulative decomposition gas to cumulative gas production can be used to evaluate the contribution of the gas hydrate layer.
