THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Experimental study on overtopping failure of concrete face rockfill dam

Case Studies in Construction Materials
With the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, the problem of dam failure with low probability and high risk has gradually attracted people's attention. This paper uses flume model tests to systematically analyze the overtopping failure mechanisms of

The origin of fault scarps & fissures on moorland plateaux & in the vicinity of landslides, in the South Wales Coalfield, UK [PDF]

, 2010
Fault scarps and fissures occur on moorland plateaux and in the vicinity of deep-seated landslides in the South Wales Coalfield, UK. These scarps may reach about 4 m in height and 3-4 km in length.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Integrated VES–ERI–MASW‐Geotechnical Investigation for Building Foundation Site Suitability at the Proposed Wachemo University Referral Hospital, Hosanna, Central Ethiopia

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Integrated VES, ERI, and MASW surveys, constrained by boreholes, delineate a central low‐resistivity/low‐V s weak corridor and more competent volcanic strata at depth. The eastern sector offers preferable foundation conditions, while identified weak zones require ground improvement or deep foundations to mitigate differential‐settlement risk.

Landslide susceptibility mapping using a machine learning approach and different environmental factors in the Western Ghats region (India)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Landslide susceptibility mapping in India's Western Ghats using machine learning revealed high‐risk zones driven by deforestation, slope alteration and road proximity. The Random Forest model showed highest accuracy, supporting targeted mitigation, planning and early warning systems.

Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...
