Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

Still on the same page: A gender comparison of the top 100 picture books from the UK and China published 2011–2020

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract As a primary source for the early ages, picture books guide preschool children's gender perception through stories and illustrations. However, previous studies have criticised an overall gender inequality in children's picture books. Compared to the increasing attention on gender diversity in the UK picture book industry, there has been little

Response mechanism of soil-immersed tunnel based on static pushover model tests

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The static pushover tests on the underground structures mainly concentrate on consistent deformation of soils, with scarcely any studies considering soil dislocation. A regional pushover method is proposed.

Exercising electrocardiograms from Thoroughbred racehorses with exercise associated sudden death

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Exercise associated sudden death (EASD), defined as a fatal collapse in a closely monitored and previously presumed clinically healthy horse that occurs during exercise or within approximately 1 h after exercise, is disproportionately more common in equine than in human athletes.

An Introduction To Pushover Analysis

open access: yes, 2018
Performance - based seismic design,which is a relatively new concept,came into existence as a means to ascertain the likely performance of an existing building structure during an eart hquake. However,this approach is equally applicable to new buildings being designed. Herein is explained why there is a growing consensus among designers to follow this
