New Zealand contributions to the global earthquake model’s earthquake consequences database (GEMECD) [PDF]
The Global Earthquake Model’s (GEM) Earthquake Consequences Database (GEMECD) aims to develop, for the first time, a standardised framework for collecting and collating geocoded consequence data induced by primary and secondary seismic hazards to ...

The article describes the design and manufacturing process of a novel pediatric high‐fidelity pathological mannequin for clinical training on unanticipated difficult airway management using rigid and flexible bronchoscopy. The mannequin has been developed from the CT scans of a 19‐month‐old polysyndromic patient (Crouzon Syndrome), thanks to the ...

ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Seismic behaviour and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures [PDF]
The seismic vulnerability associated to existing reinforced concrete buildings, constructed until the late 1970’s, in urban areas of many European countries with moderate to high seismic hazard, is of extreme importance.

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 ...

Evaluation of Local & Global Ductility Relationships for Low-Rise Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures [PDF]
The paper presents the findings on a parametric study of the period lengthening effects of low-rise masonryinfilled reinforced concrete frame buildings using an incremental dynamic analysis (IDA).

Photonic band structure of highly deformable, self-assembling systems
We calculate the photonic band structure at normal incidence of highly deformable, self-assembling systems - cholesteric elastomers subjected to external stress.
