Seismic displacement of gravity retaining walls

HBRC Journal, 2015
Seismic displacement of gravity walls had been studied using conventional static methods for controlled displacement design. In this study plain strain numerical analysis is performed using Plaxis dynamic program where prescribed displacement is applied ...

Seismic behaviour of a large-scale concrete-block retaining wall [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In this study, an inclined model experiment and finite element analyses were conducted to evaluate the failure mode and seismic response of a dry-type large-scale concrete-block retaining wall (LCBW). In the experiment, the objective was to reproduce the

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Full-Scale Collision Behavior of a Polyurea-Coated RC Intrusion Protection Wall for High-Speed Train Derailment

Buildings
High-speed train derailments can cause severe vehicle collisions with rail bridges and adjacent infrastructure; however, full-scale evidence for the collision response of trackside intrusion-protection walls and for material measures that limit concrete ...

The Concept of an Elastic Rocking Steel Shear Wall

, 2013
Conventional steel panel shear walls (SPSWs) are now well-established ductile seismic-resisting systems. SPSWs comprise thin steel plates (web plates) connected to beams (horizontal boundary elements) and columns (vertical boundary elements) and which ...

Perivascular Matrix Densification Dysregulates Angiogenesis and Activates Pro‐Inflammatory Endothelial Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Perivascular matrix densification promotes the emergence of aberrant endothelial tip cells (ATECs) that invade and persist within fibrotic microenvironments. Using in vivo lineage tracing and a human microvessel model, this study shows that fibrous matrix cues destabilize VE‐cadherin–mediated junctions to gate TGF‐β signaling, inducing a pro ...

Fabrication of highly oriented Mn4N/Pt epitaxial bilayer structure on MgO(001) for spintronics applications

AIP Advances, 2023
Magnetization control by electric current or spin current is an attractive technology with potential applications in memory and logic devices, and Mn4N has attracted much attention in recent years as a candidate material for current-induced magnetization

Developmentally Inspired Bioprinting of Nascent Multicellular Human Heart Tissue Through in Situ Differentiation and Morphogenesis of iPSCs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A developmentally inspired bioprinting approach enables the fabrication of pluripotent tissues that undergo shape‐morphing and in situ cardiac lineage specification. This method employs embedded bioprinting to deposit iPSCs within soft granular hydrogels to create pluripotent tissue constructs that undergo cell‐mediated shape morphogenesis.

GHRHR Deficiency Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Visual Functions in Experimental Glaucoma by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.
