Les notions de fūkei, de ba et de fukkō au cœur d’un projet collectif artistique by Catherine Grout

“…This essay shows how a specific understanding of landscape (fūkei) as an agricultural landscape associated with the collective imagination, memory, and the activities related to vegetable farming enabled artist Taho Ritsuko to engage survivors of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, which struck Osaka-Kōbe in 1995, in a movement of reconstruction and renewal (fukkō). …”

Seismic Safety of Rockfill Dam with Asphalt Concrete Core on Overburden Layer by FENG Rui, LI Yuqi, SHI Wenjie

“…As the rockfill dam with an asphalt concrete core is built over the thick overburden layer,the overburden layer affects the dynamic response of the dam and aggravates the whiplash effect.Cutoff structures are also affected,especially the cutoff wall of the dam base and the asphalt concrete core of the dam,which are thin and prone to crack during an earthquake,and hence,they are the weak links of engineering.In the case of a rockfill dam with an asphalt concrete core,its height is 85.5 m,and the cutoff wall of the dam base has a depth of 110 m.To explore the seismic safety of the dam and its cutoff system,this study employs the sub-modeling technique to analyze the seismic time history of the cutoff wall and the core on the basis of static analysis.The results indicate that the seismic effect greatly influences the top and bank slope of the core and both sides of the cutoff wall,and the range and value of tensile stress increase to a great extent.It is suggested that corresponding measures should be taken to reinforce local regions.…”

Dynamic Response Analysis of Super Shallow-Buried Rectangular Tunnel by Sanqing Su, Tao Yin, Zhen Cao, Bin Lei, Zhao Liu, Wenxu Lin, Anyuan Kuang

“…The results show that under the action of train vibration load, the dynamic stress response of the top plate midspan and the upper end of the side wall of the tunnel cross section directly below the rail is the most significant, and the dynamic stress response of the bottom plate is the smallest. Under the rare earthquake, the tunnel structure has large transverse deformation, in which the transverse displacement of the tunnel roof is the largest. …”

A Research on a Temporary Shelter Design to be Used After Natural Disasters: A Case Study of Indonesia – Sinabung by Irham Walad Nasution

“…There are many types of natural disasters such as flood, storm, volcanic eruption, earthquake, tsunami, etc. The first characteristic of a disaster is to be natural; the second one is to cause loss of life and property; the other one is that it usually happens in a very short time; and finally, it cannot be prevented by people after it starts. …”

Investigating the Effect of Viscous Yield Dampers on Concrete Structure Performance by Nima Marzban, Parisa Esmaeiltabar Nesheli

“…To study them, 5- and 10-story structures have been designed using FE method and have been subjected to earthquake records. Historical analysis shows that the use of hybrid dampers reduces the amount of seismic input force to the structure and also the amount of floor drift is reduced due to the use of dampers and also the capacity of structures for these structures is increased. …”
