Development of an open-source platform for calculating losses from earthquakes [PDF]

, 2012
Risk analysis has a critical role in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment numerical tools and software.

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‐

Seismic Fragility and Loss Assessment of a Multi-Story Steel Frame with Viscous Damper in a Corrosion Environment

Buildings
Corrosion can accelerate the deterioration of the mechanical properties of steel structures. However, few studies have systematically evaluated its impact on seismic performance, particularly with respect to seismic economic losses.

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.

Time-Dependent Seismic Fragility of Coastal RC Frames Considering Effect of Distance from Coastline

Buildings
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in coastal atmospheres commonly suffer the penetration of chloride ions, which can lead to the corrosion of reinforcements and, thus, a reduction in their structural performance under earthquakes. In recent years, time-

Seismic fragility analysis of shear-critical concrete columns considering corrosion induced deterioration effects

, 2020
Shear-critical reinforced concrete structures such as older columns with insufficient transverse reinforcement details or short columns are found to be vulnerable to earthquake loading.

Structural vulnerability of Nepalese Pagoda temples [PDF]

, 2012
Nepal is located in one of the most severe earthquake prone areas of the world, lying between collisions of Indian to the Eurasian plate, moving continuously, resulting in frequent devastating earthquakes within this region.

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.
