Ductility of Eccentrically Compressed Elements of RC Frame Damaged by Corrosion under Accidental Impacts by S. Yu. Savin, V. I. Kolchunov, N. V. Fedorova

“…The impact of aggressive environments and, accordingly, the corrosion damage of concrete and reinforcing steel, the violation of adhesion between them in some areas lead to a change in the values of the limiting height of the compressed zone, which determine the plastic or brittle mechanism for the destruction of structures of reinforced concrete frame buildings. The purpose of the presented study was to assess the influence of the depth of corrosion damage on the ultimate height of the compressed zone of the section of eccentrically compressed elements of reinforced concrete frames of buildings, as well as to assess the bearing capacity of these elements. …”

Housing Vacancy Rate in Major Cities in China: Perspectives from Nighttime Light Data by Zhiru Tan, Donglan Wei, Zixu Yin

“…The results revealed that (1) the lowest (15%) and highest (24.3%) HVRs occur in Shenzhen and Nanning, respectively. (2) The urban HVR correlates positively with the three production structures (0.3143) but is significantly negatively correlated with population (0.3841), GDP (0.6139), and urban average housing prices (0.5083). (3) The first-tier, new first-tier, and second-tier cities showed the lowest (16.9%), relatively concentrated (20.5%), and highest (21.3%) average vacancy rates, respectively. (4) The vacancy rate is relatively low in the eastern coastal areas, whereas high in the northeast and western inland areas. …”
