The May 29 2008 earthquake aftershock sequence within the South Iceland Seismic Zone: Fault locations and source parameters of aftershocks [PDF]
The mid-Atlantic plate boundary breaks up into a series of segments across Iceland. The South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) is a complex transform zone where left-lateral E-W shear between the Reykjanes Peninsula Rift Zone and the Eastern Volcanic Zone is ...

Monitoring Surface Deformation Before the M7.0 Kumamoto and M6.6 Chitose Earthquakes for Precursor [PDF]
Earthquakes have resulted in significant damage; however, the extent of the ground observation coverage remains limited. Thus, a deeper understanding of seismic activity and its precursors holds promise in mitigating earthquake hazards.

Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

Creep: time‐dependent brittle deformation in rocks [PDF]
The characterization of time‐dependent brittle rock deformation is fundamental to understanding the long‐term evolution and dynamics of the Earth’s crust. The chemical influence of pore water promotes time‐dependent deformation through stress corrosion

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Seismic Performance of Steel Elements With and Without FRP Strengthening: A Review [PDF]
The welded beam-to-column connections in steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) have long been recognized as a critical structural vulnerability, particularly after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which exposed their limited plastic rotation capacity and ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.
