Seismic behavior of chilean bridges with seismic protection devices [PDF]

Revista de la construcción, 2015
Several bridges with seismic protection systems have been built in the last decade inChile. Accelerometer networks have been installed in some of them. Seismic records have been obtained by these instruments for moderate and severe earthquakes. In this paper, records registered atMargaMargaBridge,AmolanasBridgeand Metro Viaduct are analyzed, and ...

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Influence of seismic events on shallow geotechnical structures [PDF]

, 2017
This paper deals with a summary of possible seismic loading of shallow geotechnical structures. It is known that seismic loading influences the underground structures much less than the structures on the surface, therefore, it is not usually taken into ...
