Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Biomineralization of primary carbonate cements: a new biosignature in the fossil record from the Anisian of Southern Italy

Lethaia, EarlyView., 2021
Biomineralization is a generic term used to indicate biological‐mediated mineral formation. In carbonate mineralization, nucleation of crystals can be: (1) controlled directly by the organisms, like in the skeletal formation of most metazoans; (2) induced by microbial communities, by indirect precipitation mediated by their metabolic activities; or (3)

Deformation and diagenetic histories around foreland thrust faults [PDF]

, 1990
This thesis is concerned with the relationship between deformation and fluid flow along thrust zones. The study was carried out in the Vercors, French Sub-Alpine Chains foreland thrust belt.

The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: Evidence from teleseismic receiver functions

, 2012
[1] The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) in West Africa is a chain of Cenozoic volcanism with no clear age progression. The reasons for its existence are unclear, and the nature of its magmatic plumbing system is poorly understood.

The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: evidence from seismicity and seismic anisotropy [PDF]

, 2014
The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) straddles the continent-ocean boundary in West Africa but exhibits no clear age progression. This renders it difficult to explain by traditional plume/plate motion hypotheses; thus, there remains no consensus on the ...

Viscoelastic modelling of crustal deformation

, 2014
Deformation in continents is not restricted to narrow bands but is spread over great distances within their interiors. A number of lines of evidence, including the distribution of earthquakes, reveal that the strength of different continental regions varies markedly. While it is relatively easy to qualitatively map out these variations, little progress

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Neotectonic deformation features in plio-pleistocene coastal aeolianites: palaeoseismology and earthquake hazard implications for the Southern Cape, South Africa

, 2013
Deformation features within Plio-Pleistocene Bredasdorp Group coastal aeolianites within the Southern Cape, South Africa, have been studied to resolve the neotectonic history of the region, estimate the recent to current upper-crustal stress field, and ...

Late Miocene upper-crustal deformation within the interior of the southern Puna Plateau, central Andes

, 2015
The origin and evolution of the central Andes, a noncollisional orogenic system, have been hypothesized to evolve as a result of several dynamic processes, including formation of an eastward-propagating orogenic wedge, segmentation into rhomb-shaped ...
