Three‐parameter kinematic theory for shear assessment of reinforced concrete short columns
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This work presents a rational kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete short columns. Due to their high stiffness and brittleness, short columns are particularly vulnerable to seismic forces, often exhibiting critical failures.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of clustered buildings in the historical center of Timisoara: fragility curves for ou-of-plane mechanisms of collapse [PDF]
, 2022 This thesis aims to define the seismic vulnerability assessment of the historical clustered buildings of the city of Timisoara, starting from the rapid survey on a urban scale and the most easily detectable building characteristics. The analysis is based

Significant Far‐Right Challenges to Australian Society? The XYZ and AustraliaOne
Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scholars who analyse the Australian far‐right from a criminological or security studies perspective propose that activists and groups pose ‘political’ challenges to Australian society. This paper examines the far‐right news website The XYZ and the AustraliaOne political party, and argues that claims that the far‐right may normalise ...

Nonlinear Static Procedure for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Bridges
Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 2007 The impact of an earthquake event on the performance of a highway transportation network depends on the extent of damage sustained by its individual components, particularly bridges. Seismic damageability of bridges expressed in the form of fragility curves can easily be incorporated into the scheme of risk analysis of a highway network under the ...
