Evaluation of the accuracy of traditional Pushover methods in regular RC structures [PDF]
In the traditional pushover method, which has been the noticed by seismic design code, only the effect of the first vibration mode of the structure is considered, reducing the accuracy of the results, especially in mid-rise and high-rise structures.

This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Advances in Triboelectric Nanogenerators With Rotating Structure
The rotating TENG has been widely studied for its superiorities of simple structure, high efficiency, and stable output. This review introduced the four different principles of rotating TENG and offered a thorough summary for performance and application research through three‐level classification. Importantly, the current existing problems, challenges,

Semi‐Active Movable Shear Keys for Seismic Response Control of Bridges
ABSTRACT The size of the joint gaps plays a significant role in the dynamic performance of bridges. This has recently motivated the consideration of movable shear keys (MSKs), pioneered by the corresponding author, to enhance bridge performance by changing the bridge support/boundary conditions.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of a Fully Integral Concrete Bridge with End-Restraining Abutments
A fully integral bridge that is restrained at both ends by the abutments has been proposed to form a monolithic rigid frame structure. Thus, the feasible horizontal force effect due to an earthquake or vehicle braking is mainly prevented by the end ...

Terrestrial LiDAR and hydrology calibration were used to derive each tree's stemflow drainage area, normalising rainfall‐stemflow relations by contributing surface. The results show that Fagus grandifolia (beech) maintains a stronger, steeper hydrological response to rainfall (exhibited by a higher normalised yield) than Acer saccharum (maple) and ...

Modeling joints of moment-resisting steel frames for nonlinear static pushover analysis
The effect of the real behaviour of steel joints on the seismic response of steel moment-resisting frames has long been recognised as a crucial aspect in ensuring a safe structural response. Predicting the behaviour of steel joints under cyclic loading can be quite complex and impractical in engineering practice.

Assessment of nonlinear static (pushover) analysis procedures using field experience
Recently, many nonlinear analysis procedures have been proposed for earthquake response determination of the structures. Although, the nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) is accepted as the most accurate source of information for nonlinear seismic response, nonlinear static procedures (NSP) may also provide reasonable estimates of seismic demand
