Balancing the Beneficial Contributions of Foundation Rocking and Structural Yielding in Moment-Frame and Frame- Wall Building Systems / [PDF]
, 2014 To date, experimental studies have illustrated that foundation rocking can advantageously provide an isolation mechanism, dissipating energy, and re-centering of building-foundation systems.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Nowadays, Lepidosauria is a diverse group represented by squamates and the rhynchocephalian tuatara. However, their origins date back to the end of the Permian Period, when the stem lineages Lepidosauromorpha and Archosauromorpha diverged. Within the lepidosauromorph stem lineage, a few species have been described with unstable phylogenetic ...

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Seismic Response of Moment Resisting Frames Coupled with Rocking Walls
, 2018 This study investigates the inelastic response of yielding structures coupled with rocking walls. This topic is of major significance in the design of tall moment-resisting buildings, since during recent major earthquakes several tall, moment-resisting ...

Seismic design of precast concrete rocking wall systems with varying hysteretic damping
, 2019 Following the design practice for cast-in-place concrete walls in which energy dissipation is a byproduct of the walls’ seismic response, force-based seismic design of precast concrete rocking walls uses a response modification coefficient, or R factor ...

7000 Years of Aboriginal Mining at Sugarloaf Hill in the Riverland Region of South Australia
Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Silcrete and chert are commonly represented in Aboriginal archaeological lithic assemblages across large parts of the southwestern Murray‐Darling Basin (MDB). In South Australia (SA), these materials were sourced from a series of quarries located along the incised course of the Murray River through the upper Riverland region.

Rock Wall Formation Optimization
In nature, the formation of rock walls exhibits the characteristics of local aggregation, dynamic adjustment, and global equilibrium. Inspired by rock wall formation, this paper proposes a novel heuristic optimization algorithm, the Rock Wall Formation Optimization (RWFO), which simulates rock migration within rock walls, local stress feedback, and ...

Towards a unified description of rocking structures
, 2013 Numerous studies on the rigid rocking block have generated a wealth of knowledge about rocking behavior. However, evaluation of more complex rocking systems requires the derivation and solution of complicated equations of motion.
