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.

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.

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 ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Gravity Dams Considering the Fuzziness of Damage States Thresholds

工程科学与技术, 2020
Since the evolution of the structural damage states is a gradual transitional process and the fuzziness of cognition, the thresholds of damage states of the gravity dams are fuzzy, which will affect the evaluation results of damage states of gravity dams.

Assessing the fire resistance of damaged reinforced concrete frames: A comparative study between 2D and 3D frames

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐earthquake fires pose a significant threat to urban environments, with potentially catastrophic consequences for buildings and infrastructure. To enhance understanding and mitigate these risks, this study conducts a comparative analysis of post‐earthquake fire (PEF) in two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete ...

Post‐earthquake field assessment and damage correlation of elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Kahramanmaras/Elbistan, Türkiye

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
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 ...

Seismic fragility analysis method for evaluation of dislocation resistance of tunnels crossing active fault zones

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
As the dislocation of active fault is the main factor leading to the failure of the tunnels crossing the fault, it is essential for the seismic design to evaluate the dislocation resistance performance of the tunnels crossing active fault zones. However,

The Coloniality of Data: Police Databases and the Rationalization of Surveillance from Colonial Vietnam to the Modern Carceral State

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tracing the early adoption of computer gang databases by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1980s to the deployment of computationally‐assisted surveillance during the Vietnam War, this paper uses a genealogical approach to compare surveillance technologies developed across the arc of ...
