Neural network with signal parameters featuring for near‐surface velocity model building

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a method that integrates spectral recomposition (SR) with a neural network to improve near‐surface seismic analysis. The approach incorporates SR‐derived wavelet‐timing attributes into a fully convolutional network (FCN) to enhance the characterization of shallow subsurface structures. Field evaluation was conducted using S‐

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
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.

Simplified Estimation of Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]

, 2004
A seismic risk assessment is often performed on behalf of a buyer of commercial buildings in seismically active regions. One outcome of the assessment is that a probable maximum loss (PML) is computed.

The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Fragility Assessment of Single Concrete Pier and Pile-Soil Interaction Impact under Near and Far-Fault Earthquakes

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA
Civil engineers face a significant challenge in assessing seismic vulnerability due to the complex of soil-pile-structure interaction system. This research aims to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of individual piers under various seismic ground ...

Bond‐slip modeling for reinforced concrete beam‐column joints with plain reinforcement bars: Insights from numerical validation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

Simplified state‐dependent seismic fragility assessment

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics
AbstractEarthquakes are clustered in time and space; therefore, structures may be subjected to multiple consecutive instances of potentially damaging shaking, with insufficient in‐between time for repair operations to take place. Methodologies to evaluate the risk dynamics in this situation require vulnerability models that are able to capture the ...
