Earthquakes and earthquake engineering in China

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1987
China is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world and has suffered many disasters. During the last twenty years, especially since the Tangshan earthquake of July 1976 which killed 242,000 people and disabled almost 200,000 people, the Chinese government and the whole society have paid more attention to and made a huge effort to deal with

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

Atomic Scale Control of Thermal Conductivity in LaMnO3/SrMnO3 Superlattices

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Interface‐dominated cross‐plane thermal transport in [(LaMnO3)m/(SrMnO3)n]10 superlattices can be controlled by the octahedral rotation/tilt angle φOOR of the MnO6 octahedra, which as well is controlled by the “m/n” ratio. ABSTRACT We report atomic scale structure and phonon thermal transport in (LaMnO3)m/(SrMnO3)n/SrTiO3(100) superlattices (LMO/SMO ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...
