Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Out-of-plane behavior of masonry infill walls [PDF]
, 2015 In order to investigate the out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infill walls, quasi-static testing was performed on a masonry infill walls built inside a reinforced concrete frame by means of an airbag system to apply the uniform out-of-plane load to each ...

The Seismic Expression of Core Complex‐Style Extensional Detachment Faults in Rifted Margins
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The identification of core complex‐style extensional detachment faults (CCDFs) in rifted margins is crucial for accurately restoring their stratigraphic and thermal histories. Yet recognising CCDFs in seismic reflection images is challenging due to their faint topographic expression; the lack of associated abrupt offset in seismic reflections;

Influence of Infill Wall Configuration on Failure Modes of RC Frames
Shock and Vibration, 2018 An improper configuration of masonry infill walls in RC frame may lead to short column effect on the columns, which is harmful to the seismic behavior of the structure.
