Performance Test and Design Method of Sliding Isolation Bearing for Museum Collections
Every earthquake will pose a great threat to the collections housed in museums. To avoid the immeasurable damage caused by earthquakes, a sliding seismic isolation bearing for museum collections was developed to meet the urgent need for seismic safety ...

Shaking Table Tests of Curved Bridge considering Bearing Friction Sliding Isolation
Specific to severe damage to curved bridges in earthquakes caused by the excessive force of the fixed bearings and piers, a new seismic design method on curved bridges considering bearing friction sliding isolation is proposed in this paper.

Design Principles of Seismic Isolation
In earthquake resistance design of structures, two general concepts have been used. The first is to increase the capacity of the structures to resist the earthquake load effects (mostly horizontal forces) or to increase the dynamic stiffness such as the seismic energy dissipation ability by adding damping systems (both devices and/or structural fuses).

ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Although conceptually simple, the application of seismic isolation can pose dangerous pitfalls. It is based on decoupling the dynamic response of a structure from the ground motion by inserting isolation devices at its base.

English teachers' journeys since the 2020 Iteration of Black Lives Matter
Abstract The 2020 resurgence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) mobilised students in England to demand greater representation of racially minoritised voices in English curriculums—a call highlighted by stark inequity: just 1.5% of GCSE texts studied are by racially minoritised authors, despite racially minoritised students comprising 38.0% of the student ...
