Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Improving grid-connected tidal power systems through PWM inverters based on voltage-oriented control

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrical Engineering and Applied Sciences
Pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifiers play a critical role in AC to DC power conversion for renewable energy applications. Existing systems predominantly employ basic voltage-oriented control (VOC) strategies and conventional 2-level converters, which

Tsunami Casualty Risk Assessment Integrating Evacuation Tower Placement, Seismic Road Network Performance Enhancement, and Disaster Education

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.
