Coupling Ratio-Based Design and Seismic Performance of Modular Prefabricated Hybrid Coupled Walls by Yun Shi, Yumin Zhang, Jianbo Dai, Guangyuan Weng

“…A CR-based seismic design procedure is determined such that the structure utilizes the lateral stiffness of the shear wall, which is necessary to avoid structural damage under frequently occurring earthquakes. However, it also exhibits excellent ductility of the coupling beams, which is necessary for dissipating energy under infrequent earthquakes. …”

Unveiling midcrustal seismic activity at the front of the Bolivian altiplano, Cochabamba region by Gonzalo Antonio Fernandez M, Benoit Derode, Laurent Bollinger, Bertrand Delouis, Mayra Nieto, Felipe Condori, Nathan Sarret, Jean Letort, Stephanie Godey, Mathilde Wimez, Teddy Griffiths, Walter Arce

“…However, the tectonic structures causing these earthquakes remain poorly identified. Indeed, Bolivia’s national seismological network does not optimally cover the area and the hypocentral locations of local earthquakes are therefore subject to large uncertainties which hinder their association with specific faults. …”
