Design Internal Forces of Non‐Dissipative Members in CBFs With Regular and Irregular Brace Configurations

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used in seismic regions, with chevron and split‐X configurations commonly adopted for their structural efficiency and architectural flexibility. Although extensive research has been carried out on these systems, the effectiveness of the formulations available in the literature for estimating

Climate Driven Water Table Changes and Their Influence on Liquefaction Response of Integral Bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integral abutment bridges (IABs) eliminate bearings and joints but transfer seismic demand directly into the surrounding soil, making their response highly sensitive to groundwater conditions and soil–structure interaction. This study presents a 60 g centrifuge testing programme on single‐span IABs designed to isolate the influence of water ...

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 ...

A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.

Genetic Algorithm‐Driven Analysis of Gravitational Water Vortex Power Plant Runner Performance: A Comparative Study Integrating Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates genetic algorithm optimization, CFD simulation, and experimental validation to identify the optimal runner geometry for a gravitational water vortex turbine. The combined approach enhances vortex stability and improves energy conversion efficiency, demonstrating strong agreement between predicted and measured performance ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.
