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 ...

Study on Key Controlling Factors of Fracture Propagation by Shaped Charge Blasting in Coal Seams
Gas drainage is the fundamental approach to controlling gas disasters in coal mines. For single low‐permeability coal seams, it should be supplemented by coal seam permeability enhancement technologies to improve gas drainage efficiency. This paper conducted a numerical simulation study on the key controlling factors affecting the fracturing effect of ...
