The lesson learnt after Emilia-Romagna earthquakes on precast RC structures: a case-study [PDF]

, 2016
During Emilia-Romagna earthquakes (Northern Italy) on May 2012 a huge number of existing precast RC one-story buildings was severely damaged. Most of these structures were reinforced concrete one-story buildings, hosting industrial and commercial ...

Seismic performance of RC building columns confined with CFRP

Facta universitatis - series: Architecture and Civil Engineering
It is a usual practice that traditional methods with traditional materials (most frequently jacketing of elements) are used for repair and strengthening of structures. However, lately, particularly in the last two decades, there have occurred new construction materials intended for strengthening and design referred to as composites strengthened by ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Flexible Chemiresistive Chitosan‐Glycerol Sensors on Laser‐Induced Graphene Electrodes for Room‐Temperature Ammonia Detection

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Flexible Chitosan‐glycerol sensor integrated with porous laser‐induced graphene (LIG) electrodes enable room‐temperature chemiresistive detection of ammonia (NH3) and proof‐of‐concept detection of fish spoilage. ABSTRACT We report a metal‐free sensor platform combining laser induced graphene (LIG) electrodes with drop‐deposited, glycerol‐plasticized ...

Comparative analysis of RC irregular buildings designed according to different seismic design codes [PDF]

, 2012
The present paper presents a comparison of the seismic provisions of the three seismic design codes, namely the Philippine code (National Structural Code of the Philippines or NSCP2010), the European code (Eurocode 8 or EC8), and American code (2009 ...

Behavior Of Rc Buildings To Tsunami Action

, 2012
The present report describes the characteristics of damages and behavior of reinforced concrete buildings during the tsunami action. The discussion is based on the field damage survey in selected cities located on the coast of the zone affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011.

Chemically Doped Conductive Polymers for Wearable Health Monitoring

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Among conductive polymers, poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polyaniline (PANI), and polypyrrole (PPy) are the most studied and applied. Chemical doping significantly boosts intrinsic conductivity and mechanical robustness.
