Seismic Fragility Analysis of Shield Tunnels Considering the Flexural Capacity of Longitudinal Joints [PDF]

Buildings
The longitudinal joints in shield tunnels connect the segments in a ring and can predominantly influence the mechanical behavior of the lining. The axial force environment influences the flexural capacity of longitudinal joints in shield tunnels and is a

Association of frailty with fragility fractures and all‑cause mortality in adults: evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Fragility fractures impose a substantial global public health burden, driven by diminished bone strength and extrinsic risk factors. Frailty, characterized by multisystem decline and reduced physiological reserve, is increasingly recognized as

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Steel Pipe Pile Wharves with Random Pitting Corrosion

Buildings, 2023
This paper investigates the seismic damage behavior of steel pipe pile wharves after pitting corrosion. The seismic intensity is treated as random, and a probabilistic strength model for randomly pitting corroded steel is utilized to assess the seismic ...

Simulated Performance of Cross-Laminated Timber Residential Structures Subject to Tornadoes

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
Tornadoes are some of the most severe and devastating natural events and cause significant damage to structures in the United States. Light-frame wood residential structures have shown vulnerabilities to these events, but they are not explicitly ...

Seismic Vulnerability of Cabinet Facility with Tuned Mass Dampers Subjected to High- and Low-Frequency Earthquakes

Applied Sciences, 2020
The study investigates the collapse probability of a cabinet facility with a tuned mass damper (TMD) subjected to high- and low-frequency earthquakes. For this aim, a prototype of the cabinet in Korea is utilized for the numeric simulation.
