Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Effect of the soil-structure interaction on performance assessment of the energy-based cumulative damage index in concrete reinforced frames [PDF]
In most of the conventional design methods, the soil beneath the structure is assumed to be rigid, but this assumption is not true in reality. Up to now, many studies have been performed concerning the interaction effect on the structure response but the

A CRITERION FOR CONSIDERING SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION EFFECTS IN SEISMIC DESIGN OF DUCTILE RC-MRFs ACCORDING TO IRANIAN CODES [PDF]
During the last quarter of the 20th century, the importance of dynamic soil-structure interaction for several structures founded on soft soils was well recognized.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Permanent excavation interaction and adjacent building under earthquake (Case study: Entrance ramp of the city train and hamyari-shahrdari building) [PDF]
Deep excavation have a direct effect on stresses and strains of surrounding soil, and it leads to the change in static and dynamic response of adjacent structures of the excavation.

Analysis of the Second Order Effect of the SSI on the Building during a Seismic Load
The type and the properties of the soil can potentially intensify the internal forces on buildings during seismic loads. To predict the effects of the soil parameters on the soil–structure interaction of buildings, it is necessary to consider the soil ...

Effects of soil-pile-structure interaction on seismic response of moment resisting buildings on soft soil [PDF]
Dynamic response of structures sitting on soft soils is influenced by the soil properties, and the response is significantly different to the fixed base condition owing to the interaction between the ground and the structure, In order to study this ...

3D non-linear time domain FEM-BEM approach to soil-structure interaction problems [PDF]
Dynamic soil-structure interaction is concerned with the study of structures supported on flexible soils and subjected to dynamic actions. Methods combining the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) are well suited to address ...
