Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete buildings using fragility curve [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017
Fragility curves are usually used to determine the vulnerability of structures. But defining failure criteria is of great importance in seismic vulnerability which probability of exceeding from these failure criteria is considered as the basis of ...

NEW SEISMIC SOURCE ZONE MODEL FOR PORTUGAL AND AZORES [PDF]

, 2010
The development of seismogenic source models is one of the first steps in seismic hazard assessment. In seismic hazard terminology, seismic source zones (SSZ) are polygons (or volumes) that delineate areas with homogeneous characteristics of seismicity ...

Synthetic Electrocardiogram Spectrogram Generation Using Generative Adversarial Network‐Based Models: A Comparative Study

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular diseases are leading death causes; electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is slow, motivating machine learning and deep learning. This study compares deep convolutional generative adversarial network, conditional GAN, and Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN‐GP) for synthetic ECG spectrograms; Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and ...

Seismicity and seismic hazard assessment in West Africa

Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2021
No in-depth seismic hazard (SH) study for West Africa (WA) has ever been conducted, as the regional earthquake catalogues are incomplete. Such lack of comprehensive SH study has negatively affected planning and development of critical infrastructure and disaster risk management in WA.

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...

The Effect of Atmospheric Corrosion on Steel Structures: A State-of-the-Art and Case-Study

Buildings, 2021
Atmospheric corrosion can seriously affect the performance of steel structures over long periods of time; thus, it is essential to evaluate the rate of corrosion and subsequent modification of dynamic properties of a structure over different time periods.
