Stories of relocation to the Waikato: Spaces of emotion and affect in the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, Aotearoa New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Emotion and affect are enmeshed in the lives of relocated Cantabrians. A project on the lived geographies of relocation disrupts the predominance of model based approaches in hazards and disaster literature.

Circular Economy in Crisis Contexts: An Assessment Framework for Post‐Disaster Building Stock Toward Strategic Autonomy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐disaster contexts generate large volumes of damaged building stock with significant, yet often unquantified, circularity potential. Through the lens of strategic management, the circular economy emerges as a transformative pathway to strengthen systemic resilience by reducing dependencies on external resources and mitigating supply chain ...

Seismic Behavior of Precast Prestressed Concrete Frame with Hinge-Relocated Mortise–Tenon Connections

open access: yesBuildings
To satisfy the easy-construction demands of precast concrete (PCa) frames after an earthquake, a PCa frame with mortise–tenon (MT) connections is proposed in this paper.

Post-earthquake assessment of moderately damaged reinforced concrete plastic hinges

open access: yes, 2020
Modern reinforced concrete buildings are often designed to dissipate energy during strong earthquakes by permitting the controlled formation of plastic hinges. Plastic hinges require assessment of residual capacity in post-earthquake situations. However,

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 23-35, March 2025.
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

Relocation of Earthquakes in the Labrador Sea and southern Labrador

open access: yes, 1991
Ninety-eight earthquakes in Labrador and the Labrador Sea have been systematically relocated. Their revised locations show a good correlation between seismicity and geolog­ical structures. Most of the earthquakes occur on three structures: the extinct spreading ridge and associated transform faults in the Labrador Sea; the rifted continental margin off

Bond Formation: Shaken, Not Stirred

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Shaking of seismo‐molecules efficiently transforms kinetic energy into storable chemical potential, unlocking high‐utility Gibbs free energy. This innovative mechanism pioneers uncharted scientific frontiers, introducing fascinating phenomena like seismochemistry, seismochromism, and seismofluorescence that redefine the boundaries of molecular ...
