Spatial Variations of Late Quaternary Slip Rates along the Ganzi–Xianshuihe Fault Zone in the Eastern Tibet

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The Ganzi–Xianshuihe Fault Zone is a large-scale sinistral strike-slip fault zone on the eastern Tibet. As the boundary fault zone of the Bayankala Block and the Chuandian Block, it controls the clockwise rotation of the southeastern Tibet.

Additively manufactured steel reinforcement for small scale reinforced concrete modeling: Tensile and bond behavior

open access: yesMaterials & Design
Small scale (∼1:30–1:40) Reinforced Concrete is useful for centrifuge testing. However, manufacturing the reinforcing cages by hand at this scale is practically difficult.

Modeling of Vertical Breakwater Wall under Bilateral Seawater Load [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hydraulic Structures, 2019
Floating breakwaters are widely used due to their various advantages over stationary breakwaters. Lots of researches have been done on hydrodynamics and the type of bracing of these kinds of structures in recent years.

Time-frequency representation of earthquake accelerograms and inelastic structural response records using the adaptive chirplet decomposition and empirical mode decomposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, the adaptive chirplet decomposition combined with the Wigner-Ville transform and the empirical mode decomposition combined with the Hilbert transform are employed to process various non-stationary signals (strong ground motions and ...

Seismic vulnerability of Yazd [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016
Occurring earthquake in Iran plateau is common due to that Iran is on seismic belt and having a large number of faults. Studying of Yazd’s vulnerability in Iranian’s seismic code earthquake is the goal of this research.

Seismic Response Analysis of Multi-Story Steel Frames Using BRB and SCB Hybrid Bracing System

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Multi-story steel frames are popular building structures. For those with insufficient seismic resistance, their seismic capacity can be improved by installing buckling-restrained braces (BRBs), which is known for high energy dissipation capacity, and the
