Behind the Curtain: COVID‐19 as a Lens to Precarity in Museum Labor

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 323-331, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Using in‐depth interviews with emerging and early professional museum workers in New Orleans, Louisiana, this article expands on scholarship around the perceived and actual value of nonprofit labor. It adds qualitative support to the argument that museum labor is real labor—open to exploitation and abuse while constantly negotiated internally ...

Seismic Effectiveness of Multiple Seismic Measures on a Continuous Girder Bridge

Applied Sciences, 2020
Seismic hazards, such as bridge pounding, unseating, collapse, etc., cause significant economic losses and affect traffic and safety. Research on seismic measures, such as limiting and unseating prevention devices for the bridge, can effectively prevent ...

Multiple shaking tables tests of seismic pounding effect of reinforced concrete bridge model [PDF]

, 2014
In order to investigate the longitudinal pounding effect of highway bridges with high-piers under strong ground motions, multiple shaking tables tests of a 1/10 scaled continuous rigid frame and simply-supported girder bridge with high-piers were carried

Appearance Inspection‐Based Typical Damage Investigation of Concrete Curved Girder‐Type Bridges Subjected to Temperature and Vehicle Effect

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Technical approach of the article. ABSTRACT This study focuses primarily on concrete curved girder‐type bridges, which are commonly used for urban roads and highways. Over the last two decades, practical experience in bridge engineering has shown that these bridges have unique mechanical and damage characteristics, unlike conventional straight bridges.

Numerical Simulation of Post‐Yield Hysteretic Behavior of Lap‐Spliced Reinforced Concrete Bridge Pier Walls Under Earthquake Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1356-1376, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Determination of Peak Impact Force for Buildings Exposed to Structural Pounding during Earthquakes

Geosciences, 2019
Structural pounding between adjacent, insufficiently separated buildings, or bridge segments, has been repeatedly observed during seismic excitations. Such earthquake-induced collisions may cause severe structural damage or even lead to the collapse of ...

An ANN-Based Approach for Prediction of Sufficient Seismic Gap between Adjacent Buildings Prone to Earthquake-Induced Pounding

Applied Sciences, 2020
Earthquake-induced structural pounding may cause major damages to structures, and therefore it should be prevented. This study is focused on using an artificial neural network (ANN) method to determine the sufficient seismic gap in order to avoid ...

An analysis of landslides in Great Britain using soil texture, rainfall and topography reveals contrasting failure conditions between organic and mineral soils

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
Mineral and organic landslides from the BGS landslide database were each clustered into three distinct groups using landslide‐slope angle, rainfall on the day of the landslide, cumulative rainfall and soil texture. Differences between organic and mineral landslides as well as between landslide clusters were interpreted from a mechanistic viewpoint ...
