Dynamic Test of Negative Stiffness Damped Outrigger With Damping Amplification
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 1141-1155, 10 April 2025.ABSTRACT This paper proposed a novel negative stiffness damped outrigger with damping amplification (NSDO‐DA) through a smart combination of an L‐shape lever, a precompressed disc spring brace (DSB), and a viscous damper. A theoretical model of the NSDO‐DA considering nonlinear adaptive negative stiffness, damping amplification of nonlinear viscous ...

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.Urban bird communities are more colour‐diverse after accounting for species richness. We also found that bird species that do well in urban environments are less likely to be brown and exhibit more elaborate colours, but not higher sexual dichromatism. ABSTRACT Rapidly expanding urbanisation presents significant challenges to wildlife.

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Precast concrete structures are recognized among the structural typologies that may mostly suffer from progressive collapse as a consequence of local unpredicted damage, also due to past accidents occurred in buildings employing old precast technologies neglecting the basic robustness criteria and characterized by poorly detailed and/or ...

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.To address the issue of excessive stress at the secondary pier–beam joints of multispan continuous sheet–pile bridges caused by large longitudinal displacements, this study proposes a novel structural configuration incorporating prestressed self‐resetting reinforcement at the pier–beam connection.
