Study on Seismic Fragility Analysis for Piping of CEFR

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics and Physics, 2013
This paper introduces the conception of seismic fragility, gives the model of seismic fragility analysis, and places emphasis on discussing quantization process of seismic fragility parameters. Then, establishes 3D model of pipes of Chinese Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) accident residual heat removal system, and obtains the stresses which are ...

Multidimensional seismic fragility analysis of subway station structures using the adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation and Copula function

open access: yesUnderground Space
Structural damages during an earthquake are typically controlled by seismic demands, which are represented by the combination of amplitude of ground motion and cyclic load effects.

Kriging Metamodel-Based Seismic Fragility Analysis of Single-Bent Reinforced Concrete Highway Bridges

open access: yesBuildings, 2021
Uncertainty quantification is an important issue in the seismic fragility analysis of bridge type structures. However, the influence of different sources of uncertainty on the seismic fragility of the system is commonly overlooked due to the costly re ...

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 191-228., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Fragility assessment of tunnels in soft soils using artificial neural networks

open access: yesUnderground Space, 2022
Recent earthquakes have shown that tunnels are prone to damage, posing a major threat to safety and having major cascading and socioeconomic impacts. Therefore, reliable models are needed for the seismic fragility assessment of underground structures and

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Geological and geotechnical challenges on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe and their impact on hardrock pillar design

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is notable for its rich platinum group metal deposits but poses significant geological and geotechnical challenges due to its complex rock types and structural features. Traditional pillar design methods are insufficient for addressing these complexities; the study suggests incorporating advanced techniques such as machine ...
