Eco‐ductile design of RC columns: Resolving the conflict between embodied carbon and curvature ductility

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reducing embodied carbon emissions in structural design is of critical importance in combating global climate change. However, the increased material usage and heavy confinement reinforcement required to meet high ductility demands in reinforced concrete columns directly conflict with environmental sustainability goals.

Strong ground motion and structural damage in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes: A comparative case study of numerical predictions and field observations

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract On February 6, 2023, southeastern Türkiye was struck by two catastrophic earthquakes (Mw: 7.7 and Mw: 7.6) along the East Anatolian Fault Zone, causing extensive structural failures and significant loss of life. This study evaluates the seismotectonic characteristics of the sequence, analyzes strong ground motion data against the Turkish ...

Joint seismic/electrical effective medium modelling of hydrate-bearing marine sediments and an application to the Vancouver Island margin

, 2008
Remote determination of the hydrate content of marine sediments remains a challenging problem.In the absence of boreholes, the most commonly used approach involves the measurement of Pwavevelocities from seismic experiments.

Damping ratio of reinforced concrete walls under limited damage from shaking table test and data‐driven modeling

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate estimation of the damping ratio is critical for evaluating floor response spectra and equipment seismic demands in nuclear power plant structures. This study investigates the elastic damping ratio of reinforced concrete walls under limited damage states through shaking table tests and data‐driven modeling.

A novel seismic connector for precast concrete shear walls

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A critical aspect of the seismic performance of precast concrete walls is the deformation capacity of their connections, which can be limited by premature bar fracture, reinforcement buckling, or cyclic instability. This paper introduces and experimentally validates a new ultra‐ductile connector (UltraDC) that provides reliable force transfer ...

Seismic Source Parameters

, 1994
The use of information contained on seismograms to infer the properties of an explosion source presents an interesting challenge because the seismic waves recorded on the seismograms represent only small indirect, effects of the explosion. The essential physics of the problem includes the process by which these elastic waves are generated by the ...

Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.
