Review on seismic response of tunnel engineering: from dynamic characteristics of rock mass to structural earthquake-resistant analysis

Meitan xuebao
Although tunnel structures are confined by the surrounding strata, and relative movement between the structure and strata is not obvious under seismic loads, resulting in significantly superior seismic performance compared to surface structures, they are

Historic cartography of L'Aquila city as a support to the study of earthquake damaged buildings [PDF]

, 2013
The city-center of L'Aquila suffered big damages from the main seismic event (6th April 2009, 3:32 a.m., local time; Ml=5.8, Mw= 6.2) of the seismic sequence that included hundreds of aftershocks (more than 30 of them 3.5<5.0) (INGV, 2009). Causes and

Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

ANTI-VIBRATION INSULATION POSSIBILITIES OF THE OVERGROUND PARKING OVER THE DAMBOVITA RIVER. ANTISEISMIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS [PDF]

Analele Universităţii "Constantin Brâncuşi" din Târgu Jiu: Seria Inginerie, 2019
Too strong an excitation force cannot be applied to a resonant system, because it will develop vibrations of very large amplitudes. The damping is the one that controls the motion of a resonant system at its natural frequency.

Palaeolandscape reconstruction of a shallow coastal embayment in Kattegat, Denmark—influence of sea‐level changes during the latest Pleistocene and Holocene

Boreas, EarlyView.
We analyse the geological processes of a coastal embayment in the Kattegat. Using high‐resolution seismic data and sediment cores, we describe a geological evolution from glacial to shallow marine stages with a variety of preserved facies from different depositional settings, including glacio‐lacustrine, telmatic, limnic and coastal environments.

The Restorative Frame: A Grounded Theory Study of Protective Factors for Foster Care Disruptions

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study used grounded theory to explore the protective factors for foster care placement disruptions. Twenty‐two interviews were conducted with foster parents, caseworkers and therapists involved with 14 older children or sibling sets who had undergone placement disruptions and were at high risk of experiencing future disruptions.

A Call to Industry: Unearthing Synergies in Subsurface Storage Technologies

Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subsurface storage technologies (SSTs), including geological CO2 sequestration, underground hydrogen storage, compressed‑air energy storage and thermal energy storage, are emerging as a scalable route for industry to achieve the terawatt‑hour storage flexibility and permanent carbon removal that evolving energy systems demand.

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

Making with the Trouble: Un/Enfolding Posthuman Participants with Young People in Creative Post‐Qualitative Research

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores how ‘what matters’ can surface in multisensory arts‐informed projects as ways for young people to survive and stay with gender and sexuality troubles that are always more than theirs. Situated in an ex‐mining post‐industrial locale, we make an agential cut in a longitudinal research and engagement project called Unboxing ...
