Seismic Response Control of a Soft First-Story Building

Journal of Disaster Research, 2009
A structure with a building plane 7.75 × 8.35 m, 47.8 m high, and having a height/width aspect ratio exceeding 6 has a building response that is difficult to control in both seismic and wind loading. We therefore changed the vibration mode from rocking to swaying by softening first-story translation stiffness and concentrating building deformation ...

Behavioural Study of Infill’s Walls on Soft Story Building

International Journal for Modern Trends in Science and Technology, 2021
Open ground storey or soft storey is a typical feature in multistory structures in urban areas. This open storey is provided to accommodate parking, reception lobbies, office, communication hall etc. Many of structure having soft storey suffered major damage and collapsed in recent earthquakes. During an earthquake, because of variation in stiffness in

Descriptors to Dynamics: A Materials and Device Perspective on in‐Materio Physical Reservoir Computing for Neuromorphic Edge Intelligence

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Intrinsic material dynamics are harnessed as computational resources for neuromorphic in‐materio physical reservoir computing. Defects, ionic motion, interfaces, percolation, geometry, and biasing shape transient states that provide fading memory, nonlinearity, and high‐dimensional projection for simple readout. A descriptor‐to‐dynamics framework links

Identifying Soft-Ground-Story Pre-1977 High-Rise Structures in Bucharest for Updated Seismic Risk Analysis

Applied Sciences
Soft-ground-story configurations in high-rise buildings present a critical vulnerability during seismic events, often leading to disproportionate structural damage and collapse.

Perilaku Struktur Bangunan dengan Ketidakberaturan Vertikal Tingkat Lunak Berlebihan dan Massa Terhadap Beban Gempa

Jurnal Teknik Sipil, 2016
Configuration Variation of building structures may result in systems irregularities of the structures. Two types irregularities which are often encountered are the excessive lateral soft stories and masses.

Poly(Alkoxythiophene) Rod‐Coil Block Copolymers for Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present the first synthesis of poly(3‐alkoxythiophene) rod‐coil block copolymers as a new architecture for OMIECs. Incorporating PEG and PLLA coils can enhance device performance beyond the homopolymer. The figure‐of‐merit depends uniquely on coil length.

Probabilistic Seismic Performance Assessment of a Representative Soft-First-Story Building in an Earthquake-Prone Region

CivilEng
The structural performance of mid-rise buildings with a soft first story is a critical issue in earthquake-prone regions. This paper presents a detailed assessment of both the seismic performance and the structural reliability of a confined masonry mid ...

An Approach for the Response of Buildings Subjected to Impact Load after Soft-Story Failure due to Earthquake Excitation

Shock and Vibration, 2013
The soft-story failure is one of the most typical types of damage observed in buildings during earthquakes. The failure of an intermediate soft story of a structure results in large impact loading acting on the lower floors due to the fall of the upper ...

Research on irregular plane mid story isolation structures in castor earthquake prone areas considering SSI effect

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The rock composition of karst area is mainly limestone, which is easy to be eroded and dissolved by water, forming a complex and fragile tectonics. Under the action of earthquake, the instability of stratum is aggravated.

Programmable Carrier‐Free All‐Enzyme Beads for Modular Continuous‐Flow Biocatalysis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Genetically encoded enzyme building blocks self‐assemble into monodisperse, carrier‐free protein beads via a droplet‐based formulation strategy. These programmable catalytic particles enable modular continuous‐flow biocatalysis, from single‐enzyme reactions to multi‐enzyme cascades and bead–bead coupled reactor systems.
