Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria

open access: yesCivil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 3-8, March 2025.
Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.

Fracture evolution of a thick soft protection layer and the water inrush mechanism in overburden under longwall mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are

Repeatability and Parasitic Out‐of‐Plane Motion in Controlled Rocking Structures With Cylindrical Columns: Results From Triaxial Shake Table Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking
