National Relics: Secular Sacrality, Museums, and Heritage‐Making in Nineteenth‐Century Chile
Museum Anthropology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Fall 2026.ABSTRACT This article examines how objects and bodily remains are transformed and ritualized into national relics through collecting and exhibiting practices in museums. Focusing on nineteenth‐century Chile, it draws on archival sources, material culture theory, and the anthropology of religion to argue that objects associated with Chile's nation‐state

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1514-1532, June 2026.ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

My (post‐)post‐socialism: A personal photo essay
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract The paper is a multi‐modal, autoethnographic exploration of the visual remnants of lived post‐communism in a typical block of flats neighborhood of a Romanian city. By using film and digital photography, alongside narrative reflection, the author summons memories and blends observed and lived reality with creative non‐fiction to build an ...

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 671-703, June 2026.Abstract Studies have explored the relationship between text readability and processing effort in second language (L2) reading—as evidenced by eye movements. However, these studies generally relied on short texts, raising concerns about the validity of the analyzed data. This study reexamined these relationships using open‐source eye‐tracking data from

Structural Behavior of Composite Sandwich Slab Panels
Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2013 Concrete sandwich panel [CSP] is a relatively new and innovated form of construction. In the present study, it is consisting of a layer of light weight concrete [L.W.C], sandwiched between two outer layers of reinforced concrete which are connected ...

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.Technical approach of the article. ABSTRACT This study focuses primarily on concrete curved girder‐type bridges, which are commonly used for urban roads and highways. Over the last two decades, practical experience in bridge engineering has shown that these bridges have unique mechanical and damage characteristics, unlike conventional straight bridges.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1270-1291, May 2026.ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...
