ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Time-lapse seismic attenuation as a tool for monitoring hydrocarbons and CO2 in geological materials [PDF]
Both laboratory experiments and theoretical models have shown seismic attenuation to be sensitive to various petrophysical properties of rock and pore fluids, making attenuation a potentially useful time-lapse attribute to measure and interpret through ...

ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEMS [PDF]
Non-structural components in most types of commercial building represent a major portion of the total cost of the building and, as such, will represent a large portion of the potential losses to owners, occupants, and insurance companies. Non structural

Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...
