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 ...

Spatiotemporal Distribution of the Magnitude of Completeness and b-Values in Mainland China Based on a Fused Multi-Source Earthquake Catalog

Entropy
The b-value is a critical parameter for gauging seismic activity and is essential for seismic hazard assessment, monitoring stress evolution in focal zones, and forecasting major earthquakes. The minimum magnitude of completeness (Mc), a key indicator of

Behavior of manufactured sand and recycled coarse aggregate concrete‐filled steel tubular stub columns with circular section

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Accelerated urbanization has intensified environmental concerns due to excessive natural resource consumption and construction waste generation. Circular concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) columns incorporating manufactured sand recycled coarse aggregate (MS‐RCA) concrete have emerged as an innovative composite element offering notable ...

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Contribution of dowel action to interfacial shear transfer in flat joints with unbonded posttensioned bars for precast segmental bridges

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry joints are widely used in precast segmental bridge construction because they simplify assembly and accelerate erection. Incorporating fasteners crossing flat dry joints represents an innovative configuration for this type of connection.

Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Mining induced stress surge and drop mechanisms in backfilling panel of a coal burst mine

Meitan xuebao
High stress and multi faults lead to rising burst frequency in deep coal mine. Though backfilling mining serves as the most straightforward method for stress-decreasing and burst-preventing, it fails to eliminate coal burst completely.
