NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF ANTISEISMIC SLIDING BELT PERFORMANCE

International Journal for Computational Civil and Structural Engineering, 2023
One of the effective methods for ensuring seismic resistance of buildings and structures located in seismic-prone areas is the use of an active seismic protection system. The most common at present is an active seismic protection system based on seismic

A Study on the Effects of Implementing Base Isolation System for Existing RC Buildings on Soft Soil

Journal of Civil Engineering
The occurrence of earthquakes is frequent in Indonesia due to its position in a highly active tectonic zone. One approach to improve the seismic performance of existing buildings is through the use of base isolation.

Investigation on Influence of Friction Plate Material Properties on Hysteretic Performance and Stability of Friction Dampers

Buildings
Friction dampers are widely used in building seismic protection due to their excellent shock-absorbing performance and reliable operation. To clarify the influence of friction plate material properties on the hysteretic behavior and stability of friction

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Scanning Parametric Sediment Echosounder as Tool for Underwater Archaeological Prospection

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater cultural heritage 3D prospection techniques, especially for remains that are partly buried in the ground, are only very rarely available and often can only be applied with considerable technical effort. To overcome this limitation, we evaluate a methodological adaption of widely used and available single channel parametric sediment ...

English teachers' journeys since the 2020 Iteration of Black Lives Matter

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2020 resurgence of Black Lives Matter (BLM) mobilised students in England to demand greater representation of racially minoritised voices in English curriculums—a call highlighted by stark inequity: just 1.5% of GCSE texts studied are by racially minoritised authors, despite racially minoritised students comprising 38.0% of the student ...
