Applying the Bow Tie Method to Evaluate Emerging Risk: The Case of Carbon Capture and Water Stress
Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Emerging environmental risks are often shaped not by a lack of knowledge alone, but by fragmented information across systems, disciplines, and levels of governance. This fragmentation limits the ability of local decision‐makers to identify and respond effectively to rapidly developing technologies.

SEISMIC RETROFIT OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES
Journal of JAEE, 2004 This paper presents the seismic retrofit practice of existing highway bridges in Japan. At first, the histories of the past seismic design codes, past seismic evaluation, and past seismic retrofit practices for highway bridges are described. Then the damage caused by the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake and the lessons learned from the earthquake are ...

Seismic Behaviour and Retrofit of Historic Masonry Minaret
Građevinar, 2012 The dynamic behaviour of block masonry minaret of a historical mosque in Istanbul is analyzed, and a seismic retrofit method is proposed. Due to high seismicity of the region, a 3D finite element model is used to determine lateral displacements and ...
