A Methodology for Multihazards Load Combinations of Earthquake and Heavy Trucks for Bridges
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Issues of load combinations of earthquakes and heavy trucks are important contents in multihazards bridge design. Current load resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications usually treat extreme hazards alone and have no probabilistic basis in extreme ...

Simulation of the earthquake-induced collapse of a school building in Turkey in 2011 Van Earthquake
, 2016 Collapses of school or dormitory buildings experienced in recent earthquakes raise the issue of safety as a major challenge for decision makers. A school building is ‘just another structure’ technically speaking, however, the consequences of a collapse ...

Evaluating the Economic Response to Japan's Earthquake [PDF]
This paper compares the 1995 Kobe earthquake with the more recent one in Tohoku. The impact of the recent earthquake on industrial production was much larger and long-lasting than that of the 1995 earthquake.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Dynamic cracking properties and generating conditions of coal under rapid gas release
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Gas release tests revealed that crack initiation and propagation are jointly controlled by initial crack length, residual strength, and gas release velocity. A new outburst risk coefficient was thus developed from a fracture mechanics perspective, offering a novel predictive approach.
