Building Weight Measurement by Human Shaker

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The weight of a building is a fundamental parameter that plays a critical role in structural hazard assessment, finite element model updating, foundation settlement prediction, and other related fields. At present, two primary approaches are commonly used to estimate building weight: calculation based on design drawings and estimation from the total ...

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.

Experimental Assessment of Double‐Skin Tubular Columns Under Eccentric Loads

ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 455-460, December 2025.
Abstract The CFDST (concrete‐filled double‐skin tubular) columns consist of concentric steel tubes with concrete filling between them and have a lower self‐weight compared to other configurations of composite columns. Double‐skin columns provide good structural performance, even when subjected to seismic activity, explosions, and dynamic loads ...

Optimization of Shell Structures with Fuzzy Probability‐Based Random Fields Using Artificial Neural Networks

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 25, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The structural design optimization aims for robust structures with minimal use of material resources, leading to slender and thin‐walled structures, which entail a higher risk of stability problems. This issue is further influenced by geometrical imperfections, which are subjected to uncertainties.

On the politics of movement: Borderscapes, choreopolicing and choreopolitics

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 4, December 2025.
Short Abstract The paper introduces choreography as a novel tool of analysis for investigating how movement shapes and is shaped by the apparatus of territorial security. It examines how dance choreography can intervene in security imperatives and enact embodied transgression.

Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment of an RC Bridge Considering Corrosion‐Affected Bond‐Slip and Steel Bar Buckling

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 14, Page 3594-3609, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete (RC) bridges are designed to remain safe and functional for their lifetime, during which the impacts of aging may result in performance degradation. Steel bar corrosion is one of the most common causes of structural performance degradation in RC structures subjected to earthquakes in seismic‐prone areas.

Experimental Study of Bending and Torsional Effects in Walking-Induced Infrastructure Vibrations: The Pasternak Footbridge

Infrastructures
Slender, lightweight and modern footbridges are particularly susceptible to vibrations induced by pedestrian activity. While extensive research has focused on vertical and lateral forces produced by walking, torsional moments generated by eccentrically ...

Design of cable-stayed footbridges under serviceability loads [PDF]

, 2016
During the last decades structural engineers have proposed and developed lighter, slenderer and longer footbridges, frequently innovating from the structural and aesthetic viewpoints, as well as implementing in their design the latest technical

Saving and Letting Live

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 753-772, November 2025.
Abstract There is a metaphysical difference between person A killing person B and A merely letting B die. There is also a metaphysical difference between A saving B and A merely letting B live. This paper argues that the metaphysical difference between saving and letting live gives rise to a moral difference. It then puts that moral difference to work:
