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

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

A NEW LOAD PATTERN FOR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS OF BASE-ISOLATED STRUCTURES [PDF]
In this paper, a new load pattern is proposed for pushover analysis of base isolated structures. Accuracy of the proposed load pattern and other conventional load patterns is evaluated through two sample structures under two ensembles of earthquake ...

Development and Validation of a Seismic Design Method for Anchored Retaining Walls
ABSTRACT Retaining walls with multiple anchor levels are widely used as permanent excavation support systems for the construction of linear infrastructures. Yet, their seismic behaviour remains largely unexplored, and current design approaches rely on conventional procedures that do not adequately reflect the actual dynamic response of these systems ...

ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This

ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

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

The Performance of Irregular Building Structures Using Pushover Analysis
High-rise buildings are at risk of collapse due to the earthquake. One method for analyzing earthquake loads is Pushover. Pushover is a non-linear static analysis to determine the behavior of a building collapse.
