SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF RESILIENT REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS WITH ULTRA-HIGH-STRENGTH REBARS UNDER STRONG EARTHQUAKE-INDUCED MULTIPLE REVERSED CYCLIC LOADING

The frequent occurrence of major earthquakes highlights the structural challenges posed by long-period ground motions (LPGMs).This study investigates the seismic performance and resilience of five reinforced concrete (RC) columns with different high-strength steel bars under LPGM-induced cyclic loading, both experimentally and numerically.The resul

Background: In majority of the low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the societal cost of injuries are alarming.The severity and magnitude of the road traffic injuries (RTI) in India are not estimated accurately due to the lack of availability of data.The data are limited on the aspects such as demographics, cause, severity of injury, processes

RADIX (Rapid Access Drilling and Ice eXtraction) is a prospecting drilling system that has been designed, realized and tested on polar ice sheets.The goal of RADIX is to provide rapid, deep access for sampling of ice and downhole physical measurements that inform about ice sheet age and history and the integrity of layering.A 20 mm access hole is d

Urban ecosystem services are crucial for human well-being and the livability of cities.A central challenge for sustaining ecosystem services lies in addressing scale mismatches between ecological processes on one hand, and social processes of governance on the other.This article synthesizes a set of case studies from urban green areas in Stockholm,
