The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Seismic response and collapse capacity assessment of dual RC buildings with vertical irregularities in shear walls

open access: yesScientific Reports
Buildings and other human-made structures can exhibit various irregularities due to environmental factors or architectural considerations. These irregularities can alter the structural response to applied forces, leading to the concentration of seismic ...

Seismic performance enhancement of three-dimensional frame structures via inerter-based control systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment
Improving the seismic response of new and existing structures is a fundamental topic in civil engineering. Often, in structural mechanics this issue is addressed through low-dimensional mechanical models capable of capturing the primary dynamics of the ...

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...
