Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Colonial and gendered peace: Decolonial perspectives on peace in Nagorno‐Karabakh
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract This article critically interrogates peace processes in the aftermath of the First Nagorno‐Karabakh War by centering the lived experiences and political voices of Armenian and Azerbaijani internally displaced and refugee women, based on ethnographic fieldwork and in‐depth interviews conducted in 2019.
