Robust seismic design optimization of steel structures

open access: yes, 2007
Stochastic performance measures can be taken into account, in structural optimization, using two distinct formulations: robust design optimization (RDO) and reliability-based design optimization (RBDO).

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.

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.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Convolutional Neural Network for Specimen-Invariant Structural Health Monitoring of FRC Under Flexural Loading

open access: yesSensors
Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures experience progressive degradation over their service life due to mechanical loading and environmental exposure, leading to reduced bearing capacity and compromised structural safety. Incorporating discrete fibers into
