Laser Stabilized to a Fiber Interferometer With Close‐To‐Zero Temperature Sensitivity
A laser stabilized to a hollow‐core fibre interferometer is presented. The interferometer is designed to have near‐zero temperature phase‐sensitivity. Laser stabilized to this interferometer put in a non‐vacuum environment achieves ±550 kHz frequency variation over 100 h and an Allan deviation of 2 × 10−14τ, which is comparable to miniature ULE ...

ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Non-linear FEM analysis of seismic induced pounding between neighbouring multi-storey structures [PDF]
Pounding of neighbouring construction of structures due to seismic excitation increases the damage of structural components or even causes collapse of structures. Among the possible building damages, earthquake induced pounding has been commonly observed

Analysis of seismic pounding between adjacent buildings
Seismic poundings between inadequately separated buildings have been observed in most previous major earthquakes. Pounding usually caused local damage around the impacting areas, and in extreme cases, collapse of the building structures.

In this paper, the case of two adjacent frame structures is studied by establishing a mechanical model based on the transfer matrix method of multibody system (MS-TMM). The transfer matrices of the related elements and total transfer equation are deduced,

Earthquake-Induced Pounding of Medium-to-High-Rise Base-Isolated Buildings
During earthquakes, out-of-phase vibrations in adjacent buildings with limited distance may cause pounding between them. In recent years, the use of seismic isolation has expanded considerably as an effective approach to reduce seismic damage.

ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

State of the Practice − Sub‐Aqueous In‐Situ Solidification for Contaminated Sediment Remediation
ABSTRACT In‐situ solidification (ISS) has emerged as a cost‐effective and versatile technology for sediment remediation, particularly for addressing contamination at greater sediment depths. This paper evaluates ISS in the context of conventional sediment remediation approaches, highlighting its advantages, design and implementation considerations, and

ABSTRACT This study develops a high‐resolution regional seismic loss assessment framework for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, focusing on direct losses due to bridge repair and replacement. Indirect losses tied to traffic downtime, business disruption, delayed recovery, etc., can also be attributed to bridge damage but are considered outside the ...
