Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Erosividade das chuvas em Uruguaiana, RS, determinada pelo índice EI30, com base no período de 1963 a 1991 Rainfall erosivity in Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil from 1963 to 1991 determined by the EI30 index

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
A erosividade representa o potencial que as chuvas têm de provocar erosão hídrica no solo. O índice EI30 é um método de determinação dessa erosividade das chuvas e é calculado, para cada chuva individual e erosiva, pelo produto da energia cinética total ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Precipitation-dependent sensitivity of suspended sediment concentration to turbidity in a mountainous river in southwestern China

Ecological Indicators
Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has been used as a key indicator in various environmental studies concerning, for example, ecological integrity, river morphology, aquatic and riverine biota, and the management of river and reservoir systems. River

Rainfall aggressiveness as a determining factor of erosion processes. Case Study: Calintir River Basin (Republic of Moldova) [PDF]

Present Environment and Sustainable Development
The climatic factor is of particular interest in the evaluation of erosion processes. The spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall is actually a key factor for erosion processes.

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

A Review of Rainfall Erosivity as a Natural Factor of Gully Erosion

International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology, 2017
In this 21st century which is climate change-driven with more extreme rainfall events, gully erosion is increasingly becoming a global environmental problem influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors. This paper is a literature review of rainfall erosivity as one of the natural factors of gully erosion.

Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...
