Numerical simulation of the present seismic risk of the HaiyuanLiupanshan fault zone
In this study, the orthotropic theory-based characterization of fault deformation behavior was made, with the ratio of the shear modulus parallel to fault plane to the shear modulus of surrounding media as the inversion parameters and the present-day ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

The main reasons for earthquake damage of bridge structures are earthquake intensity and peak of near-fault velocity pulse. Compared with other bridge types, simply supported slab bridges are more likely to be damaged in the earthquakes.

Surface deformation of 0206 Hualien earthquake revealed by the integrated network of RTK GPS
At 23:50 (local time, UTC+8) on 6 February 2018, a shallow earthquake of magnitude 6.2 on Richter scale occurred at the coastal area of Hualien, inducing significant fault activities on the Milun and Lingding Faults, and caused ruptured surface, damaged ...

Major California faults are smooth across multiple scales at seismogenic depth
Surface traces of earthquake faults are complex and segmented on multiple scales. At seismogenic depth the detailed geometry of faults and earthquake rupture is mainly constrained by earthquake locations.

Supply Chain Network, ESG Scores and Financial Performance
ABSTRACT This paper provides novel evidence on the role of supply chain networks in influencing firms' environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores and financial performance. Our analysis employs financial, board, ESG and supply chain data, resulting in an unbalanced panel of over 16,000 firm‐year observations from 3028 publicly traded US firms ...

Ensemble‐based soil liquefaction assessment: Leveraging CPT data for enhanced predictions
Abstract This study focuses on predicting soil liquefaction, a critical phenomenon that can significantly impact the stability and safety of structures during seismic events. Accurate liquefaction assessment is vital for geotechnical engineering, as it informs the design and mitigation strategies needed to safeguard infrastructure and reduce the risk ...

The use of Terrestrial Laser Scanning in characterizing active tectonic processes from postseismic slip to the long term growth of normal faults [PDF]
This thesis investigates two main hypotheses regarding uncertainty in the measurement of paleoseismic offsets used to estimate fault activity and paleoearthquake magnitudes on normal faults: (1) That variations in fault geometry have a significant effect

Abstract Blockchain technology is a digital decentralized data ledger recording transactions in an encrypted format. Its implementation can potentially hold significant advantages for the built environment, particularly in manufacturing and building product usage aligned with Building Information Modeling (BIM). This paradigm shift toward decentralized
