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

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
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

Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Repeatability and Parasitic Out‐of‐Plane Motion in Controlled Rocking Structures With Cylindrical Columns: Results From Triaxial Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Multicontinuum Homogenization for Poroelasticity Model

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This work derives a generalized multicontinuum poroelasticity model using the multicontinuum homogenization method to enable accurate coarse‐grid simulations of coupled flow–mechanics processes in highly heterogeneous porous media. Coupled constraint cell problems are formulated, and the corresponding multicontinuum equations are rigorously derived ...

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,

Multistage rupture mechanism of gypsum mine collapse seismicity revealed by moment tensor inversion and surface deformation monitoring

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
Moment Tensor analysis plays a pivotal role in characterizing both tectonic and mining-induced earthquakes, particularly for understanding rupture dynamics and associated hazards. Between 2015 and 2020, 4 high-energy mining-induced earthquakes (up to ML4.
