Application of association rules to determine building typological classes for seismic damage predictions at regional scale. The case study of Basel [PDF]
Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of

Using real‐time ultrasound images taken in vivo, the thickness of back fat and the longissimus dorsi muscle width can be estimated in ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs. ABSTRACT The aim was to identify non‐linear regression models, under the context of mixed models, to describe the growth trajectory of ‘San Pedreño’ Creole pigs based on two muscular ...

Masonry walls from reclaimed concrete demolition waste [PDF]
The construction sector is the largest consumer of non-renewable resources and the most significant contributor to CO2 emissions. Reusing entire components or reclaiming their constituent parts, instead of recycling structural elements at the material ...

Innovative solutions for masonry structures : conception, testing and application [PDF]
The evolution of structural masonry is briefly reviewed, from old thrust line behavior to modern global behavior using shear walls. For modern structural masonry, the use of unreinforced, confined and reinforced masonry is addressed, discussing the ...

Abstract Fluids can modify the mechanical properties of rocks, including shear strength and strain behavior. We investigate the timing and magnitude of seismic events during fault motion in strike–slip systems across the Peloritani Mountains (northeastern Sicily) and Aeolian Archipelago using GNSS and seismological data analysis.

ABSTRACT This article examines the relations between the Atlantis Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) and the urban economy of Atlantis, South Africa, with particular attention to the Witsand neighbourhood. Drawing on Milton Santos' theory of the two circuits of the urban economy, the study explores how the upper circuit of greentech industries within the ...

Earthen construction: structural vulnerabilities and retrofit solutions for seismic actions [PDF]
Earthen structures present very appealing characteristics regarding a more sustainable practice with the preservation of our natural resources. However, when subjected to earthquake ground motions, this type of construction may present a deficient ...
