Seismic Fragility of Gravity and Semi‐Gravity Retaining Walls and Its Impact on the Functionality Loss of Road Infrastructures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls are key geotechnical components of road infrastructure, whose seismic performance directly affects the resilience of transportation networks. Despite their importance, seismic fragility models for retaining walls available in the literature refer only to specific case studies.

An Intensity Measure‐Based Methodology for Ground Motion Orientation in Seismic Structural Assessment

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In current dynamic time history assessment protocols, ground motion recordings are mostly oriented along fixed sensor directions. Consequently, the orientation of the principal resultant of rupture energy, which may control the maximum structural demand, remains undefined, precluding consistent correlation with physically detrimental ...

Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Podium Structure With Rocking Columns of Square Cross Section

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allowing structural systems to uplift and rock during seismic excitation has emerged as an effective and inherently self‑centering form of seismic isolation. This paper develops a computationally efficient 3D analytical model suitable for the understanding of the behavior of rocking bridges.

Colonial and gendered peace: Decolonial perspectives on peace in Nagorno‐Karabakh

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article critically interrogates peace processes in the aftermath of the First Nagorno‐Karabakh War by centering the lived experiences and political voices of Armenian and Azerbaijani internally displaced and refugee women, based on ethnographic fieldwork and in‐depth interviews conducted in 2019.

Development of an advanced semi-active damper using smart fluid

, 2013
In this paper an advanced semi-active damper is designed and experimentally studied to investigate and establish its behavior. A prototype Magneto-rheological fluid Damper is designed as advanced semi-active damper due to its huge advantages.

Exact Computation of the Color Function for Triangular Element Interfaces

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We propose a robust algorithm, the Front2VOF algorithm, to compute the color function for triangular element interfaces in Front‐Tracking methods on a Cartesian mesh. ABSTRACT The calculation of the volume enclosed by curved surfaces discretized into triangular elements and a cube is of great importance in different domains, such as computer graphics ...
