Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

« La Maçonnerie française et la première guerre mondiale »

open access: yesREHMLAC, 2014
World War I fractured the universal brotherhood that Freemasonry had previously boasted. What was pacifism? How did French Freemasonry address the conflict? How was it related to other masonic obediences?

Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

“Los estudios masónicos estadounidense y su impacto en la masonería latinoamericana. Una aproximación historiográfica”

open access: yesREHMLAC, 2012
This paper provides a state of matter on the study of Latin American Freemasonry from the U.S. academy. In general there has been no interest for this study because the focus has been on Freemasonry of the United States, the United Kingdom and ...

Freemasonry and its social position in Finland

open access: yesScripta Instituti Donneriani Aboensis, 2008
Freemasonry, with its roots in the seventeenth century, has had to suffer insults and some­times even attacks from society. In this article the author looks more closely at Free­masonry in Finland, where it first appeared in the mid-eighteenth century ...

Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Mechanisms of Roadway Instability and Coupled Control Technology for Working Face Passing Through Fault Zones

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study mainly explores the instability characteristics of roadways near faults in the working face. Taking the 51104 transportation roadway of the 51104 working face in Shengxin Coal Mine as the main research object, through theoretical analysis, borehole inspection, numerical simulation and on‐site mine pressure observation, the instability ...

The judiciary and freemasonry

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sociology and Humanities
Can you be a lawyer, magistrate, prosecutor or judge in the judiciary and a Freemason at the same time? It's entirely possible. But there is a problem that exists with this practice. “Éric de Montgolfier, public prosecutor in Nice for ten years, insists that it is not Masonic affiliation that is embarrassing, but its use.

Damage Characteristics and Stress Distribution Law of Overburden Rock in Multiple Mining of Close Coal Seams

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study on close coal seams shows that multi‐seam mining increases the height of the fractured zone from approximately 26 m (single upper‐seam mining) to about 49 m. When the lower seam is mined after the extraction of the upper seam, the heights of both the caved zone and the fractured zone increase by approximately two times.
