Vulnerability assessment of traditional buildings in Coimbra, Portugal, supported by a GIS Tool [PDF]

, 2006
The increasing concern and consequent appraisal on durability, conservation state and change of use of old buildings in urban centres is greatly related with structural safety assessment, particularly to seismic actions. It is largely recognised that the

Seismic vulnerability assessment in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Sabah has witnessed an increasingly low to moderate number of seismic activities throughout the years due to active Mensaban and Lobou-Lobou faults lines. Vulnerability level of older buildings in Sabah, designed and built on the basis of older codes of practice poses a significant threat to life safety and structural capacities

Seismic analysis and design of tunnels within fault ground: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The research methods of seismic response of tunnels within fault ground, including field investigations, analytical solutions, physical experiments, and numerical simulations, and seismic countermeasures are discussed. The present study examines the shortcomings and limitations of the current research and design, and puts forward proposals for future ...

Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, EarlyView.
Glass facades have gained more popularity due to their highly impacting esthetic and sustainable applications. However, their constitutive glass components are rather vulnerable and need proper analysis strategies to design them in efficient structural terms, especially against extreme loads, such as earthquakes.

Developing a global risk engine [PDF]

, 2010
Risk analysis is a critical link in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment software.

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).
