Seismic Fragility of Gravity and Semi‐Gravity Retaining Walls and Its Impact on the Functionality Loss of Road Infrastructures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls are key geotechnical components of road infrastructure, whose seismic performance directly affects the resilience of transportation networks. Despite their importance, seismic fragility models for retaining walls available in the literature refer only to specific case studies.

Complex Versus Parsimonious Site‐Based Stochastic Ground Motion Models: Which One Is Better?

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stochastic ground motion models (GMMs) provide a probabilistic representation of seismic input and are increasingly important for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in earthquake engineering. This study focuses on site‐based stochastic GMMs, which learn the statistical features of selected datasets of seismic records and generate statistically ...

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

Triggered Calcium Lightning Programs Cochlear Development

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Summary: Before the onset of hearing, the developing inner ear generates spontaneous calcium signals that are thought to guide maturation. In this study, we discovered a rapid and widespread calcium flash—dubbed “Ca2+ lightning”—originating from supporting cells beneath the sensory hair cells, which triggers coordinated calcium waves across the entire ...
