Response Modification Factor of RC Frames Strengthened with RC Haunches by Junaid Akbar, Naveed Ahmad, Muhammad Rizwan, Sairash Javed, Bashir Alam

“…The design philosophy of the retrofit solution is to allow beam-column members to deform inelastically and dissipate seismic energy. Shake table tests were performed on three 1 : 3 reduced scale two-story RC frame models, including one model incorporating construction deficiencies common in developing countries, which was retrofitted with two retrofit schemes using RC haunches. …”

Deformation characteristics and fluid-solid coupled analysis of a super-deep circular foundation pit in soft soils by Xin MA, Dean SUN, Shujia LIU

“…The fluid-solid coupling analysis can predict the deformation of the soil and the retaining structure effectively because it considers the process that water is gradually discharged from the pore with time, and then the excess pore pressure is gradually dissipated with the change of the volume of the soil. …”

Evaluating Urban Heat Island Effects in the Southwestern Plateau of China: A Comparative Analysis of Nine Estimation Methods by Ziyang Ma, Huyan Fu, Jianghai Wen, Zhiru Chen

“…Consequently, heat dissipates more quickly at night, increasing SUHII values. (2) The mean ΔSUHII_AD (absolute difference in SUHII values across methods) was 0.51 ± 0.01 °C during the day and 0.44 ± 0.02 °C at night. (3) In high-altitude plateau cities, for all methods, the correlation of the SUHII with influencing factors was stronger, highlighting their sensitivity to both environmental and anthropogenic influences. …”

Device and Measuring Method the Moments of Rolling Resistance Forces on the Contact Spot by I. Z. Gilavdary, S. Mekid, N. N. Riznookaya

“…It is assumed that the adhesion forces can exhibit both dissipative properties and elastic properties, while elastic forces are independent of the strain rate.The originality of the method of measuring rolling resistance in this paper consists in using the method of nonlinear approximation of the dependence of the amplitude and period of swing of the pendulum on time. …”

Characteristics and mechanism of MBT anomaly of Karakum desert related with the Hindu Kush earthquake by Yifan Ding, Ziqing Wang, Yuan Qi, Wenfei Mao, Qiqi Zhang, Lixin Wu

“…The temporal characteristics of the positive MBT anomaly can be described in sequence as follows: pre-earthquake (pre-EQ) rising, near-earthquake (near-EQ) enhancing, co-earthquake (co-EQ) peaking, after-earthquake (after-EQ) persisting and dissipating eventually. Validating with multi-source auxiliary data such as surface temperature (ST), microwave polarization difference index (MPDI), soil moisture (SM), rainfall and snowfall, we confirmed the positive MBT anomaly appeared in the Karakum Desert from January 10 to January 13 was attributed to the seismic activity but not meteorological factors. …”
