Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Inception of obduction is a rare phenomenon in the Wilson cycle and requires specific prerequisites to transfer relatively high‐density oceanic lithosphere over the less‐dense continental lithosphere. The world's famous Semail ophiolite belt developed during the Late Cretaceous, when Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the rifted ...

Assessment of the in-plane nonlinear behaviour of masonry-infilled RC frames using micro-modelling approaches [PDF]
, 2016 Experimental tests are considered the most realistic approach to assessing thenonlinear behaviour of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Therefore,their results can be used to validate the properties of macro-models such as strut-typemodels,

PBEE ASSESSMENT OF RC FRAMES WITH TRADITIONAL AND SLIDING-JOINT INFILLS
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019 In reinforced concrete (RC) multi-storey buildings, the important role of the seismic interaction of structural frames with masonry infills has been revealed by several earthquakes and investigated by many authors. Recently, several innovative infill solutions have been proposed to mitigate such interaction, which could result in widespread damage in ...

Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%
Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 1, Issue 2, August 2025.Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

An experimental study of the seismic behavior of infilled RC frames with opening
Scientia Iranica, 2017 Infill walls are generally not taken into account in structural analysis due to their complex behavior at seismic actions. As it is known, they increase the stiffness as well as the lateral load capacity of the system. Sometimes, infill walls may have window and door openings in their planes.

Strengthening of brick infilled RC frames with different aspect ratios by means of CFRP overlays
Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2012 Post earthquake field investigations reveal that frames with inferior detailing are vulnerable to seismic actions. The presence of a large building stock in Turkey, which is vulnerable to an imminent earthquake, entails fast, relatively easy, and ...
