On the seismic performance of straight integral abutment bridges: From advanced numerical modelling to a practice‐oriented analysis method

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 164-182, January 2023., 2023
Abstract The seismic performance of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is affected by the interaction with the surrounding soil, and specifically by the development of interaction forces in the embankment‐abutment and soil‐piles systems. In principle, these effects could be evaluated by means of highly demanding numerical computations that, however, can ...

Seismic fragility models for base‐isolated unreinforced masonry buildings with fibre‐reinforced elastomeric isolators

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 308-334, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are highly vulnerable to seismic ground motion, calling for quantitative risk assessment and mitigation programmes in different earthquake‐prone countries to reduce future losses. Despite the effectiveness of base isolation technology in reducing seismic response of buildings, the high costs of conventional

Quantifying the Trade-offs between Energy Consumption and Salt Removal Rate in Membrane-free Cation Intercalation Desalination [PDF]

open access: yesLiu, Sizhe, and Kyle C. Smith. "Quantifying the trade-offs between energy consumption and salt removal rate in membrane-free cation intercalation desalination." Electrochimica Acta (2018), 2018
Electrochemical desalination devices that use redox-active cation intercalation electrodes show promise for desalination of salt-rich water resources with high water recovery and low energy consumption. While previous modeling and experiments used ion-exchange membranes to maximize charge efficiency, here a membrane-free alternative is evaluated to ...
