Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Predicting Parameters Affecting Building Energy Consumption Using Machine Learning Models
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This framework integrates long‐term weather forecasting with building energy simulation to predict energy demand. The CNN–LSTM model achieved the highest accuracy (R2 ≈ 0.95), supporting smart HVAC control with ~ 15% energy savings. ABSTRACT The rapid growth of population and the construction industry have led to an increase in energy demand and an ...

, 1985 A preliminary method for classifying fire severity permits managers to predict fire effects with reasonable accuracy and thus assists them in prescription development. The classification described here consists of a two-dimensional matrix of flame length classes and depth of char classes.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study explores thermal runaway in lithium‐iron‐phosphate energy storage battery packs through multi‐physics coupling simulation. Thermal runaway evolves from battery cells (experiencing overcharge, bulging, safety valve opening, and gas venting) to battery clusters (a) and propagates within the battery pack (b). Simulation results indicate: stress

The relationship between well-being and wildfire [PDF]
, 2006 In this study, the well-being evaluation method, a technique for measuring individual utility, was used to study how people in the wildland urban interface of Colorado (USA) felt about their lives before and after two hypothetical wildfire scenarios ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.
