Displacements on tectonic faults primarily accrue during earthquakes at rates that vary through time. To examine the processes that underlie the temporal changes in fault displacement rates we analyse displacements and ...
Displacement rates for normal and reverse faults (N = 57) are generally higher when averaged for the Holocene (~10 ka) than for the late Quaternary (~300 ka) and longer time scales. Holocene acceleration of displacement ...
Use of microcrystalline waxes for the protection of ceramic art objects from seismic events is an inexpensive and relatively popular technique in museum exhibition practice (Fig. 1). Unfortunately, because of the high ...
To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
This study describes a numerical projection of pre- and post-retrofitted conditions of telecommunication poles subjected to seismic hazards. The absence of explicit guidelines for the rehabilitation of existing poles ...
Natural and man-made brittle layers embedded in a weaker matrix and subjected to layer-parallel extension typically develop an array of opening-mode fractures with a remarkably regular spacing. This
spacing often scales ...
Use of microcrystalline waxes for the protection of ceramic art objects from seismic events is an inexpensive and relatively popular technique. This paper presents performance results for three commercial, microcrystalline ...
The Maghlaq Fault is a large, left-stepping normal fault (displacement >210 m) cutting the Oligo-Miocene pre- to syn-rift carbonates of SW Malta. Two principal slip zones separate the deformed rocks of the fault zone from ...
This work gives a semi-analytical approach for the dynamic analysis of beams and plates rest-ing on an elastic half-space with inertial properties. Such calculations have been associated with significant mathematical ...
Frequency granularity in a digital phase-locked loop arises from quantization in the number-controlled oscillator which prevents
the loop from locking exactly onto its reference signal and introduces unwanted phase jitter. ...
