Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

From a Probabilistic PBEE Framework to Risk‐Targeted Structural Design With Cascading Hazards: Engineering Application for Seismic–Radiological Safety

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Earthquake‐induced damage of structures can trigger cascading hazards, linking structural performance to nonstructural consequences. In current engineering practice, these two aspects are typically addressed separately, limiting the ability to account for such coupled effects in design.

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...
