For the Few, Not the Many: Tracing the Residualist and Compensatory Nature of British Energy Support

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 529-547, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Drawing on extensive documentary analysis, this article traces the evolution of British energy policy support since World War II. It analyses shifts in policy design through two interpretive lenses: eligibility (residualist vs. universalist) and function (compensatory vs. preventive).

The Seismic Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Bridges: Global Methods and Local Applications in Duhok City, Iraq

Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering
Bridges built before the introduction of the modern seismic design codes are very prone to damage caused by earthquakes, especially in developing regions that do not have systematic retrofit programs. In Duhok City, Iraq, the rising seismic activity, in

Evaluation of Modeling Assumptions for Predicting Structural Damage and Train Derailment Under Earthquake Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1514-1532, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

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 ...
