On the Seismic Response of Irregular Concrete Building with Shark Dampers Considering SSI Effects

GeoHazards
This study investigates the three-dimensional seismic response of plan-irregular reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subjected to near-fault pulse-like ground motions. The primary scientific contribution lies in evaluating how perimeter-distributed,

Probabilistic seismic response and uncertainty analysis of continuous bridges under near-fault ground motions

, 2019
Performance-based seismic design can generate predictable structure damage result with given seismic hazard. However, there are multiple sources of uncertainties in the seismic design process that can affect desired performance predictability. This paper

Assessing extent of building damage following an earthquake: case study of the 2023 Turkey-Syria doublet

npj Natural Hazards
An earthquake doublet (M w 7.8 and M w 7.5) struck southeastern Turkey on February 6, 2023, causing widespread devastation. To evaluate seismic damage across 11 provinces, we analysed strong motion data, developed fragility functions and building damage ...

Polaritonic Materials: A Comparative Study on the Relaxation Kinetics in Fabry–Perot versus Plasmonic Cavities

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Comparing Fabry–Perot and plasmonic nanorod cavities reveals how the number of dark states dictates polariton relaxation. The high number of dark states results in a polaritonic bottleneck, while reducing the number of dark states enables to measure the polaritonic decay.

Seismic evaluation of FRP strengthened RC buildings subjected to near-fault ground motions having fling step

, 2010
Recordings from recent earthquakes have provided evidence that ground motions in the near field of a rupturing fault differ from ordinary ground motions, as they can contain a large energy, or "directivity" pulse. This pulse can cause considerable damage
