The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

Spectral-element simulations of long-term fault slip: Effect of low-rigidity layers on earthquake-cycle dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We develop a spectral element method for the simulation of long-term histories of spontaneous seismic and aseismic slip on faults subjected to tectonic loading.

Post-seismic relaxation process and vertical deformation following the 2008 Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, China

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2012
Abstract:The post-seismic horizontal and vertical deformations following the 2008 Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake are inferred from GPS and precise leveling data. The post-seismic relaxation process is measured using CPS data from campaign stations located around the Longmenshan fault, and the derived decay time constant is 12 days. The evolution of the post-

LamelODF: a MATLAB‐based toolbox for orientation distribution analysis and mapping of lamellar minerals for laboratory and synchrotron X‐ray diffractometers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
LamelODF is a MATLAB‐based toolbox aimed at simplifying the automated extraction of orientation distribution functions from 2D X‐ray diffraction data of lamellar minerals in transmission mode. It accommodates both laboratory and synchrotron data formats, providing an integrated pipeline from raw data to spatially resolved textural maps, enabling robust

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.

In for a penny: An empirical study of earthquake experience and non‐pharmaceutical intervention effectiveness in the Marche region

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.
