For the Few, Not the Many: Tracing the Residualist and Compensatory Nature of British Energy Support
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.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).

Seismic Retrofit of an Existing RC Building With Isolation Devices Applied at Base
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 Nowadays, seismic retrofit through isolation strategy represents a consolidated technique of protection against design earthquakes. This technique is also applied on existing structures extensively, due to the fact that it usually does not require any ...

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2005 Some important aspects of the subject of the repair to and the strengthening of buildings, before and after an earthquake, are investigated in this paper. It has to be noted that, far more than that of recent constructions, many older buildings are susceptible to earthquake damage.

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil
Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,
