Thermoplastic‐Resin Transfer Molding Technology: Development and Challenges Toward Industrialization
Illustration of the key aspects involved in the manufacture of thermoplastic composites by T‐RTM highlighting the relationships between raw materials, resin mixing strategies, polymerization parameters, and processing equipment ranging from laboratory to industrial scale. ABSTRACT Driven by increasingly stringent international environmental regulations,

Sheet-pile enclosures are often employed as liquefaction countermeasures for river levees in Japan. However, the stiffness of the sheet piles alone is often insufficient to maintain levees on liquefied foundation soil high enough to prevent overflooding.

Liquefaction risk assessment is critical for the safety and economics of structures. As the soil strata of Ramsar area in north Iran is mostly composed of poorly graded clean sand and the ground water table is found at shallow depths, it is highly ...

The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions
Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...

A STUDY ON SAND DIKES AND SAND BOILS CAUSED BY LIQUEFACTION
地震によって液状化した地盤の土質特性などを知るために, 液状化で生じた噴砂を採取して分析することがある. しかし, 遺跡で発掘された液状化砂脈の観察により, 砂脈内の粒度組成と液状化層のそれとは異なることが示され, これを根拠に噴砂を分析することの有効性を否定する意見も示されてきた. この相対する見解を検討するために, ここでは, 2つの地震で生じた3つの液状化地点で実施されたトレンチ調査結果を基に, 砂脈内の土の物理的性質, 砂脈形成のメカニズム, 砂脈と噴砂と液状化層の関係の考察を行った. この結果, 砂脈内の土は分級され下方ほど粗くなり, 液状化層や噴砂とは一致しないこと, また, 砂脈内の土に比べ, 噴砂は液状化層の粒度組成に類似することがわかった.

ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Maintaining egg freshness in the absence of refrigeration: The potential of zero‐energy cooling pots
Abstract Background Egg storage in regions with unreliable electricity is challenging, leading to rapid quality deterioration and postharvest losses. This study evaluated the efficacy of a Zero‐Energy Cooling (ZEC) pot, an evaporative cooling technology, for preserving table egg quality in comparison to conventional refrigeration and ambient storage ...
