Do Sustainable Development Goal Disclosure Matter? Unpacking Value Relevance in the European Context
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the value relevance of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) disclosures by European listed firms, responding to calls for greater integration of sustainability into corporate strategy and reporting. Drawing on agency theory and voluntary disclosure theory, we examine whether the quality of SDG‐related disclosures affects firm

Numerical simulation of scour and flow field around single pier using SSIIM [PDF]
محیط زیست و مهندسی آب, 2016 Estimation of scour depth and understanding the flow field around pier would help to design with safer factor. In this study, we used the numerical model SSIIM as a CFD model to simulate flow and scour pattern simultaneously around single pier. The model

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...
