Regional Adjustments to NGA‐West2 Ground‐Motion Models for Turkey

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a ground‐motion model updating (GMMU) framework to adjust NGA‐West2 models for predicting a set of intensity measures in Turkey, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and pseudo‐spectral acceleration (PSA) at periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 s. The GMMU framework integrates bias identification

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

In Situ Growth of 2D Perovskite Nanocrystals to Induce β–Phase of PVDF for Piezoelectric Nanogenerators with Ultra‐High Output Voltage

Small, EarlyView.
In situ grown 2D perovskite nanocrystals embedded in PVDF enable flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators with greatly enhanced β‐phase content and a high d33∗${\mathrm{d}}_{33}^{\mathrm{*}}$ of 35.16 pm/V. The devices deliver up to 66.54 V, exhibit light‐enhanced piezoelectricity, and maintain durability over 12000 cycles, offering a stable energy source

Experimental study on the impact of traffic‐induced vibrations on early‐age concrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The COUNT (Concreting under Traffic) research project systematically examined the effects of traffic‐induced vibrations on early‐age, hardening concrete—a critical issue for bridge construction and renovation. Traffic closures are often imposed during such projects to mitigate potential damage from vibrations.

Aseismic Experimental Research on Safety-Belt System of a Low-Gravity-Center Cable-Stayed Bridge

Buildings
The seismic performance of low-gravity-center cable-stayed bridges is influenced by their structural system. This paper introduces a novel anti-seismic structural system designed to enhance the earthquake resistance of low-gravity-center cable-stayed ...

Effects of Equipment-Structure-Soil Interaction on Seismic Response of Equipment and Structure via Real-Time Dynamic Substructuring Shaking Table Testing

Shock and Vibration, 2017
Equation of motion for an equipment-structure-soil (ESS) interaction system was derived using the branch substructure method. After rearrangement, this equation was applied to real-time dynamic substructuring shaking table (RTDSST) testing of the ESS ...
