A Brief Method for Rapid Seismic Damage Prediction of Buildings Based on Structural Strength

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Rapid prediction of the post-earthquake structural damage to a region is of great importance to community relief and rescue. Detailed information on buildings in earthquake disaster areas is commonly inaccessible in the aftermath of an earthquake ...

On the Dynamical Behavior of the ABC Model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Physics, 2011
We consider the ABC dynamics, with equal density of the three species, on the discrete ring with $N$ sites. In this case, the process is reversible with respect to a Gibbs measure with a mean field interaction that undergoes a second order phase transition.

Effects of Aftershocks on the Seismic Performances of Reinforced Concrete Eccentric Frame Structures

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Strong aftershocks have the potential to cause accumulated damage in structures, a feature which has been reported in post-earthquake reconnaissance studies, particularly for eccentric or irregular structures.

Structural Crack Detection Using DPP-BOTDA and Crack-Induced Features of the Brillouin Gain Spectrum

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Structural damage generally initiates in the form of structural cracks. Thus, developing efficient crack detection techniques is of great importance for the structural health monitoring. In this paper, a new crack identification method is proposed, which
