Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conventional unbonded elastomeric bearings (ULNRs) are cost‐effective but prone to sliding during earthquakes due to their limited shear deformability. Unbonded Steel‐Mesh‐Reinforced Rubber Bearings (USRBs) offer a solution with increased deformation capacity.

Decomposing spatio-temporal seismicity patterns [PDF]
, 2001 Seismicity is a distributed process of great spatial and temporal variability and complexity. Efforts to characterise and describe the evolution of seismicity patterns have a long history.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & RiskOpen-pit mine slopes are prone to concealed weak zones owing to weathering, discontinuity cutting, and variations in rock-mass quality; these zones may fail abruptly under mining disturbance.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Five lap‐spliced circular hoop (CH) concrete bridge columns, designed in accordance with the current Japanese bridge design code and Taiwan bridge design practice, were tested in this study to investigate the effects of longitudinal reinforcement and aspect ratios on deteriorated hysteresis behavior.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Higher‐mode effects can significantly amplify seismic demands in high‐rise buildings, causing unintended damage over the building height. Engineered mechanisms are introduced at the base of these structures to mitigate higher‐mode effects. Existing continuum formulations for base‐flexible buildings commonly idealize the superstructure as a ...

Magma mobilization by downward-propagating decompression of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic plumbing system [PDF]
Detailed observations of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruptions in Iceland show seismic activity propagating vertically through the entire crust during a ten-week period of volcanic unrest comprising multiple eruption episodes.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Earthquakes often occur in clusters (foreshocks, mainshocks, and aftershocks) and can lead to cumulative structural damage. Many studies have extended traditional performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) to account for damage accumulation in multiple mainshock‐aftershock (MS‐AS) sequences using Markov chain processes and state‐dependent

Understanding induced seismicity [PDF]
, 2016 Fluid injection–induced seismicity has become increasingly widespread in oil- and gas-producing areas of the United States (1–3) and western Canada. It has shelved deep geothermal energy projects in Switzerland and the United States (4), and its effects ...
