Time‐Variant Seismic Fragility of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Piers Considering Degradation Phenomena
ABSTRACT Aging and environmental exposure progressively deteriorate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials, thereby affecting the safety and functionality of existing infrastructure. Corrosion of steel rebars in reinforced concrete structures is widely acknowledged as the most common and detrimental degradation phenomenon, as ...

ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Biomechanical, Structural, and Composition Characterization of the Vertebra‐Disc Interface
ABSTRACT Background The spinal endplate region consists of the cartilage endplate (CEP), bony endplate (BEP), and subchondral trabecular bone (STB). Although this region is often involved in vertebral fractures and disrupted with disc degeneration, the biomechanics of these tissues are incompletely understood. The goal of this study was to characterize
