The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Seismic properties of the crust and uppermost mantle of North America [PDF]
Seismic refraction profiles for the North American continent were compiled. The crustal models compiled data on the upper mantle seismic velocity (P sub n), the crustal thickness (H sub c) and the average seismic velocity of the crystalline crust (V sub ...

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...
