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.

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

A framework for capturing indirect impacts in site‐level screening for biodiversity risks

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Site‐based industrial operations such as mining, oil and gas extraction and renewable energy development are associated with many direct and indirect impacts on biodiversity. Consideration of the full range of these impacts when selecting a buffer distance to approximate the Area of Influence (AoI) of a project is critical for effective ...

Tuned liquid dampers simulation for earthquake response control of buildings [PDF]

, 2012
This paper is focused on the study of an earthquake protection system, the Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), which can, if adequately designed, reduce earthquake demands on buildings. This positive effect is accomplished taking into account the oscillation of

Thresholding species distribution models: Simple approaches for land‐use planning in multifunctional landscapes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to understand changes to species' distributions and their habitats under different land‐use scenarios, enabling decision makers to prioritize areas for management efforts and balance environmental conservation with socio‐economic demands on the landscape.

Electoral responses to economic crises

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How do voters respond to economic crises: Do they turn against the incumbent, reward a certain political camp, polarize to the extremes, or perhaps continue to vote much like before? Analyzing extensive data on electorates, parties, and individuals in 24 countries for over half a century, we document a systematic pattern whereby economic ...

In for a penny: An empirical study of earthquake experience and non‐pharmaceutical intervention effectiveness in the Marche region

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates whether prior exposure to natural disasters influenced individual compliance with non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), specifically lockdown measures, during the Corona Virus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Focusing on the Marche region of Italy, which experienced a severe earthquake in 2016, we exploit

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.

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.

An in-depth investigation of ground jerk characteristics for the four strongest Vrancea (Romania) earthquakes in the past half-century

Frontiers in Built Environment
A significant number of studies on seismic jerk have been performed worldwide in the past few years, dealing with its various features and applications in the assessment and mitigation of earthquake effects on buildings.
