Abstract:
The combined action of freeze–thaw cycles and chloride-induced corrosion are generally recognized as one of the main causes of the degradation of the mechanical properties and seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in the northern frozen coastal regions. To investigate the degradation mechanisms of the seismic performance of RC columns subjected to the combined action of freeze–thaw cycles and chloride-induced corrosion, the impact of freeze–thaw cycles on the chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete was studied through concrete deterioration tests and theoretical analysi

Next, this study developed a seismic fragility analysis framework for deteriorating RC columns considering the effect of freeze–thaw damage.

The design codes and standards (e.g., UBC, IBC, NFPA-13) estimate the amplitude of the seismic load in sprinkler-pipe braces, but they do not specify the number of cycles for which this load must be resisted by various components of pipe braces. Because the components can fail in low-cycle fatigue, the number of load cycles must be considered in establishing the strength of the brace components. The first part of this study deals with determining the number of cycles for which a component must resist its rated capacity.

AbstractHysteretic steel dampers have been effectively used to improve the seismic performance of framed buildings by confining the dissipation of seismic energy into sacrifical, replaceable devices which are not part of the gravity framing system. The number of cycles sustained by the dampers during the earthquake is a primary design parameter, since it can be associated to low-cycle fatigue, with ensuing degradation of the mechanical properties and potential failure of the system.

Abstract:
During the past earthquakes, different low ductile failure modes are observed in the gravity design structures and thus, the most of existing damage indices may fail to assess the damage of gravity design structures accurately in referring to the two main performance levels: immediate occupancy and ultimate limit state. Therefore, this study investigates the possible damage indices for the damage assessment of gravity design frames. For this purpose, among the existing damage indices in the literature, this study considers the inter-story drift and the natural period based damage indices. In a

Abstract:
This study addresses low-cycle fatigue performance of high-strength steel reinforcement bars (HSRB) when used with mechanical couplers due to the growing demand for higher-strength steel reinforcement bars in both seismic and non-seismic applications, driven by the need to reduce bar congestion, lower material quantities, and consider economic and environmental factors. Low-cycle fatigue involves material failure owing to a finite number of load or deformation cycles, generally occurring under substantial strain rates that surpasses the yielding limit. The experimental program assesses the fat

Abstract:
The Codó Formation exposed in the eastern Grajaú Basin, northeastern Brazil, consists mostly of black shales, limestones and evaporites arranged into several shallowing-upward cycles formed by progradation of lake deposits. Three ranks of cycles are distinguished. The lower-rank cycles correspond to millimetric interbeddings of: bituminous black shales with evaporites, calcimudstones or peloidal wackestone–packstone; grey/green shale with calcimudstone, peloidal wackestone–packstone or ostracodal wackestone/grainstone; and ostracodal wackestone/grainstone and/or calcimudstones with cryptomicro

Abstract:
In view of the problem that seismic damage evaluation for reinforced concrete structure are difficult to quantify, a new model for seismic damage evaluation was established by five-element connection number based on set pair analysis in the paper, which took internal damage index, maximum inter-storey drift, number of inelastic cycles and energy-concentrated quotient as evaluation factors. All indexes can be summarized into five-element connection number. Four different types of structure are analyzed on the model with more satisfactory results. Compared with the matter-element analysis evalua

Abstract:
Seismic analysis of sparker lines of GEOMAR cruises allowed us to address a first stratigraphic scenario for the shallow sedimentary record (~300 msec) of the continental shelf off Rio de Janeiro State, northern Santos basin. Two sets of seismic sequences were identified and interpreted as a succession of depositional sequences induced by repeated glacioeustatic cycles. Depositional sequences composing Set I (SqA-SqC) are dominantly sigmoidal, reflecting periods of increasing accommodation space that favoured the preservation of both aggradational and progradational units; sequences of Set II

Abstract:
This study investigates the capacity, in terms of energy, of waffle-flat-plate (WFP) structures with hysteretic dampers subjected to biaxial seismic actions. A numerical model was developed and calibrated with the experimental results obtained from shake-table testing carried out on a WFP specimen subjected to biaxial seismic loads. Then the WFP system was retrofitted with hysteretic dampers—slit-plate dampers (SPDs)—and the numerical model was subjected to different sets of ordinary ground motion records to attain different seismic performance levels (SPLs). Each set of records was applied in

Abstract:
Abstract Human foot traffic in urban environments provides essential information for city planners to manage the urban resources and urban residents to plan their activities. Compared to camera or mobile-based solutions, seismic sensors detect human footstep signals with fewer privacy concerns. However, seismic sensors often record signals generated from multiple sources, particularly in an urban outdoor environment. In this article, we monitor people’s running activities during COVID-19 pandemic with a seismic sensor in a park in Singapore. We compare the spectra of natural and urban events i

Additional data and further studies have now improved geological, geophysical, and geochemical understanding of the Neoproterozoic strata of the Officer Basin. New sequence stratigraphic analysis of continuously cored drillholes (particularly Empress–1/1A), extended throughout the area with wireline log and seismic correlations, provide enhanced recognition of depositional fades and thus basin architecture. Four major flooding events and fifteen sedimentary successions, interpreted as parasequence sets by regional correlation, are recognised across the Yowalga area. These parasequence sets are
