Evaluation of site effects on the seismic performance of a friction-damped steel IMF under near-fault earthquakes by Arsam Taslimi, Shayan Safaei

“…The local site conditions and the geological properties of soil materials on which buildings are constructed might play a pivotal role in changing the characteristics of input seismic ground motions, and subsequently affect the seismic performance of the structures. These effects should be considered in the seismic evaluation of structures, especially those equipped with damping devices. …”

Calculation Model for Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Punching Zones of Bridge Superstructure and Foundation Slabs by Gediminas Marčiukaitis, Remigijus Šalna, Bronius Jonaitis, Juozas Valivonis

“…Existing models of punching shear strength with steel fibres are mainly based on empirical coefficients, or require direct tests, what makes the design of such structures more complicated. Besides, the analysis of elastic and plastic characteristics of steel fibre reinforced concrete is incomplete, because there is no unified, well-grounded theory to evaluate them. …”

Assessing the Economic Impacts of Incorporating Romanian’s Agricultural and Food Sectors into EU’s Customs Union: an Applied General Equilibrium Approach by Silviu S. Scrieciu

“…However, the magnitude of changes is relatively small due to the weak integration of domestic agro-food sectors into international trade structures. The AGE model also predicts static welfare gains of 0.65 percent of GDP equivalent variation. …”

Modeling nuclear fuel assemblies through porous zones in a Small Modular Reactor: fluid dinamic considerations by Rebeca Cabral Gonçalves, Geovana Carvalho Silva, Fernando Lage Araújo Schweizer, Pedro Andrade Maia Vinhas, Keferson de Almeida Carvalho, Tiago Augusto Santiago Vieira, Vitor Vasconcelos Araújo Silva, Graiciany de Paula Barros, Andre Augusto Campagnole dos Santos

“…The outcomes suggests that, for models with a control volume significantly larger than a single fuel assembly, such as a complete nuclear reactor vessel, the use of porous zones is advantageous, as the variations in average velocity and pressure drop along the length of the structure are small, with the maximum axial velocity variation of -10.99%. …”

Influence Analysis of Underground Excavation on the Adjacent Buildings and Surrounding Soil Based on Scale Model Test by Suhui Yu, Yongchang Geng

“…In urban areas, it is common to construct underground structure nearby existing buildings. To investigate the impact of excavation construction on the adjacent existing buildings and surrounding soil, eight parallel scale model tests that considered the process of cut and cover construction are carried out with two kinds of the diameter of support piles, two kinds of the adjacent structure, and two kinds of the relative horizontal distance from the excavation in the laboratory. …”
