Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Application of high performance concrete for reconstruction
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 One of the sustainability aspects of the construction is a sufficient durability. In objectively justified cases, the durability is enhanced by reconstruction. To ensure economic design of the reconstruction, non-liner approaches are often applied.

, 2014 Masonry is a non-homogeneous material, composed of units and mortar, which can be of different types, with distinct mechanical properties. The design of both masonry units and mortar is based on the role of the walls in the building. Load-bearing walls relate to structural elements that bear mainly vertical loads, but can serve also to resist to ...

Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2013 The article notes that not all types of plant origin waste are appropriate for being used as fuel or left for decay. The environment is polluted by noxious gas that is generated in the process of heating or decaying. Sulphur waste is produced at chemical

Adhesion test – testing of selected adhesives on fired clay
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 The following paper deals with the comparison of adhesion of specimens made of fired clay and selected adhesives. The adhesion was tested on specimens at the age of one, two and three days in order to determine the parameters of young masonry.

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are
