Evaluation of the Occurrence of Initial Failures from Stress Concentrators in Welded Joints and Structural Elements by K. А. Molokov, V. V. Novikov, M. Dabalez

“…Data on the occurrence of initial failures obtained through testing on standard samples cannot always be extrapolated to real welded joints and structures. This is due to the difference between the concentrators in the joints, because after welding there is a significant structural and mechanical heterogeneity of the heat-affected and stress concentrator zone. …”

Effects of Anthropic Structures on Morphodynamic Beach Evolution along the Gulf of Roses (Northwestern Mediterranean, Spain) by Antoni Calafat, Manel Salvador, Marta Guinau, José L. Casamor

“…Changes in shoreline position and grain size illustrate the impact of various anthropogenic structures on morphodynamic behaviour. These structures preferentially deposit specific grain sizes and impede sediment transport, which will cause an advance in the position of the shoreline and sediment grain sizes upstream and a reverse process downstream. …”

Study on the influence of base shear distribution on the seismic response of base-isolated split-foundation structures by Yangyang Tang, Baolong Jiang, Yingmin Li, Shuyan Ji

“…Moreover, when the base shear ratio βz exceeds 0.5, the distribution of plastic hinges is significantly affected by the variations in Φ. Additionally, the story shear and story drift ratio of lower stories in the along-slope direction are generally greater than that of the corresponding story of the non-isolated structure. …”
