Seismic Assessment of Six Typologies of Existing RC Bridges
Infrastructures, 2020 Over the last few decades, the attention on the safety of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures has significantly increased. RC bridges, in particular, are highly relevant for strategic importance.

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment and fragility curves for a multistorey gallery arch bridge
SN Applied Sciences, 2021 The masonry bridges on the Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway line, which have multiple arch galleries in the form of Roman aqueducts, are spectacular. The Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway line is situated in severe seismic zones (Indian Standard 1893:2016 ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Covariance Structure Modeling of Engineering Demand Parameters in Cloud‐Based Seismic Analysis
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Probabilistic seismic demand modeling aims to estimate structural demand as a function of ground motion intensity—a critical stage in seismic risk assessment. Although many models exist to describe the structural demand, few consider the covariance among engineering demand parameters, potentially overlooking a key factor in improving the ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Anthropologist, heal thyself: Toward an anthropology of healing through relational interbeing
Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.Abstract I call for an anthropology that confronts its own woundedness. Anthropologists often bear witness to suffering but rarely examine how our own grief, trauma, and institutional distress shape the affective tone of our work. Drawing on fieldwork with Runa (Quechua) women affected by forced sterilization in Peru and guided by my collaborator and ...

Evaluation of Advanced Nonlinear Static Procedure [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2015 Having very simplicity, nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) are the most popular tools for estimation of structural capacity. These approaches construct a graphic display of the overall structural response via a pushover curve. The overall response of the
