Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

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

open access: yesEarthquake 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 ...

Direction‐Aware Period Prediction for Seismic Risk Assessment and Application to an Urban Tall Building Portfolio in China

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...
