Risk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 3354-3374, November 2025.Abstract Climate change and natural hazard risk assessments often overlook indirect impacts, leading to a limited understanding of the full extent of risk and the disparities in its distribution across populations. This study investigates distributional justice in natural hazard impacts, exploring its critical implications for environmental justice ...

Dynamic behavior of a cable-stayed footbridge depending on the calculation accuracy
Acta Polytechnica CTU ProceedingsFootbridges are analyzed in terms of dynamic response for pedestrian comfort. This problem is solved mainly on light and at the same time rigid constructions, which are easily oscillated by pedestrian load.

Microbialite Niches Across the Archean and Paleoproterozoic
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.Abstract Changes in microbialite abundance during the Archean and Paleoproterozoic have been attributed to a variety of environmental and biological factors, yet past work looking at large‐scale patterns of microbialite abundance generally assumes shallow marine deposition rather than incorporating specific settings.

Pasarela para peatones y ciclistas
ARQ, 2002 Entendemos el trabajo del arquitecto como algo que opone cierta resistencia a la naturaleza: cubre del sol y la lluvia, divide del descampado, o salva un obstáculo.

Tensile response of textile reinforced concrete incorporating synthetic fibres
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 6203-6228, October 2025.Abstract Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a composite material where a textile fabric (typically in carbon) is embedded within a cementitious matrix. This material has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional reinforced concrete, allowing for the construction of light and durable structures with a limited impact in terms of CO2‐eq ...

NExT‐LF: A Novel Operational Modal Analysis Method via Tangential Interpolation
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 401-414, September 2025.ABSTRACT Operational modal analysis (OMA) is vital for identifying modal parameters under real‐world conditions, yet existing methods often face challenges with noise sensitivity and stability. This study introduces NExT‐LF, a novel method that combines the well‐known Natural Excitation Technique (NExT) with the Loewner Framework (LF). NExT enables the

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 23, Page 3688-3706, 19 September 2025.Abstract Although using a heavy vehicle at a consistent speed is a common method to estimate displacement influence lines or displacement influence surfaces (DILs/DISs) of vehicular bridges, it requires algorithms to separate the dynamic and static components from measured displacements.

Killing, letting die, and normative inertia
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 728-749, September 2025.Abstract According to commonsense and deontological ethics, it is impermissible to kill a person in order to save the life of another person, all else being equal. But why? This article suggests a justification of this restriction. It appeals to the idea of normative inertia—very roughly, to the idea that in practical decisions, changing course is ...

Field Testing of a Smart Geomat Based on Fiber Optic Sensors and Sensor Fusion for Levee Monitoring
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.ABSTRACT Real‐time monitoring of the functionality of river embankments, especially during flood events, is an increasingly important topic in the new scenario outlined by climate change. To address this issue, the concept of the “smart levee” has recently emerged, based on the fusion of information from different types of sensors to obtain, remotely ...
