Dynamic Parameters and Hysteresis Loop Characteristics of Frozen Silt Clay under Different Cyclic Stress Paths by Furong Liu, Zhiwei Zhou, Wei Ma, Shujuan Zhang, Zhizhong Sun

“…In cold regions, the long-term stability of engineering facilities is unavoidably influenced by the negative temperature, freeze-thaw process, dry-wet process, and dynamic loading conditions induced by earthquakes and traffic loads. In order to investigate the effects of different cyclic stress paths on the evolution of dynamic mechanical properties of frozen silt clay, a series of cyclic triaxial tests with variation confining pressure (VCP) or constant confining pressure (CCP) were performed. …”

A Hysteresis Model Incorporating Varying Pinching Stiffness and Spread for Enhanced Structural Damage Simulation by Mohammad Rabiepour, Cong Zhou, James Geoffrey Chase

“…This can negatively impact the accuracy of the BWBN model in simulating structural responses and damage mechanisms in structures such as reinforced concrete (RC) and timber, which exhibit highly pinched hysteresis behavior when damaged by earthquakes. This paper introduces a BWBN model with varying pinching region characteristics (BWBN-VP model) which can degrade pinching stiffness and increase pinching effects under seismic loads. …”

Le réseau hydraulique à Pompéi (Italie) de l’époque des Samnites à Auguste (fin ive-fin ier s. av. J.-C.) by Federico Giletti

“…The cisterns initially coexisted with these without significant changes, except for a gradual decline in the maintenance of the structures.On the other hand, a sharp interruption would seem to have occurred between the earthquakes in the 1960s AD and the subsequent reconstruction phases, a period in which many of the old reservoirs, which had long since lost their meaning and function, were probably definitively dismantled and converted into usable spaces.…”
