Uncertainty‐Aware Visual Analysis of Force Networks in 2D Granular Materials

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Uncertainty in experimental measurements makes it challenging to determine which features are intrinsic to the phenomenon and which are most stable and reliable. Granular materials, such as sand, form a complex system in which the forces between individual particles influence the material's macroscopic behavior.

The Effect of Lateral Loading Parameters on Monopile Behavior Based on Physical Modeling

نشریه مهندسی دریا, 2019
Monopiles are the most common type of foundation for offshore wind turbines (OWT). Monopiles have been used in more than 80% of the offshore wind turbines.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.
Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Public Engagement in the Design of Urban Blue‐Green Infrastructure: Contrasting Approaches and Project Outcomes in Ōtautahi Christchurch

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Although blue‐green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly used to mitigate the challenges that climate change poses for cities, public involvement in its design is uneven. Here we examine three BGI projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, documenting how local communities and mana whenua were engaged in their design and the ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

Suite of Regional Seismic Velocity Models for the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains (CPVMv2.0): Incorporating Epistemic Uncertainty in Velocity Models

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
The U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain (CP) sediments are kilometers‐thick, low‐velocity deposits underlain by high‐velocity bedrock that create regional patterns of amplification and attenuation of ground motions. Capturing these effects is challenging because of the limited subsurface information available, particularly the shear wave velocity (VS)

Response of Monopiles Under Lateral Loading By Centrifuge Modeling

نشریه مهندسی دریا, 2016
One of the most common methods to analyze and design monopiles under lateral load is load-displacement curves, particularly the p-y curves, at different locations of the structure.

Earthquake Ground Motion Cycle Count Datasets

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
This study presents a comprehensive set of earthquake ground motion cycle count datasets derived from the NGA‐West2 and NGA‐Sub databases. We applied peak counting, mean‐crossing, level‐crossing, and rainflow cycle counting methods to over 275,000 acceleration time series.
