Seismic responses on vertical pumps.
TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1986 It is important to design vertical pumps considering seismic responses in addition to rotor vibrations due to unbalances. This paper presents analytical and experimental studies to evaluate seismic responses on vertical pumps. In the experiment, a small vertical pump was tested to obtain its vibration characteristics during earthquakes. In the analysis,

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.

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

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...
