Faith in the Marketplace: Christian Legal Narratives and the Refusal to Serve Gay Customers

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In June 2023, the US Supreme Court in 303 Creative v. Elenis held that an anti‐discrimination statute could not force a Christian business owner to provide certain business services to gay people. The decision has created a slew of legal and social uncertainties, which require a deeper investigation of the contemporary conflict between the gay

Collision Risk Analysis of Base-isolation Retrofitted Adjacent Buildings Connected by a Corridor Bridge

工程科学与技术, 2019
Two adjacent buildings connected by a corridor bridge were retrofitted with the base isolation technology. Considering different seismic wave incidence angles, this paper calculated seismic responses of the buildings under bidirectional earthquakes using

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2653-2668, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2719-2741, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a
