1. Mesh reinforcement in masonry mortar coatings: a systematic literature review
Abstract Mortar coatings have a major influence on a building’s aesthetics, valorization, and habitability, with significant effects on the mechanical behavior of masonry walls. Multiple types of meshes can be embedded in plaster to enhance both masonry and coating’s mechanical behavior, restrain crack formation, enhance the bonding between layers, and i

2. The use of seismic tomography to describe the upper crustal structure beneath the Chalupas Caldera, Ecuador
Abstract The Chalupas Caldera is a rhyolitic volcano located in the Eastern Cordillera to the Southeast of the Cotopaxi Volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes. It is supposedly fed by a huge magmatic chamber below the caldera. For studying the Chalupas magmatic chamber, the tomographic models obtained by a Tarantola-Valette inversion and studied previously in the e

3. Beam-Column Joints Reinforcement Detailing Adequacy in Case of a Corner Column Loss-Numerical Analysis
Abstract This study investigates the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints at the corner panel after a ground corner column loss scenario. The ductility of a frame is dependent on the ductility of its components, particularly its joints. Deficiency in joints performance can be related to an unexpected event. For example, the removal of a gr

4. Damage index analysis of prefabricated segmental bridge columns under cyclic loading
Abstract The damage index is usually applied to evaluate the damage states of bridge structures, which is the basis of structural fragility study. The present study investigates the seismic damage index of the prefabricated segmental bridge columns (PSBC) under cyclic loading by theoretical and numerical analysis. Based on the previous pseudo-static experime

5. Experimental and numerical study of I-shape slit dampers in connections
Abstract This paper proposes a new beam to column connection which has slit dampers to increase ductility and moment capacity of structures. After Northridge and Kobe earthquakes, many researchers have tried to achieve more ductile connections. Ductility of connections causes to dissipate more energy before failure of connections. Also, some researchers have

6. Processing of large offset data: experimental seismic line from Tenerife Field, Colombia
ABSTRACT: Exploration seismology provides the main source of information about the Earth’s subsurface, which in many cases can be presented as a simple model of horizontal or near-horizontal layers. After the seismic acquisition step, conventional seismic processing of reflection data provides an image of the subsurface by using information about the refle

7. Simultaneous prestack seismic inversion in a carbonate reservoir
Abstract We applied a method of Simultaneous Prestack Seismic Inversion (SPSI) in a hydrocarbon field located in the Campos Basin, Brazil. The goal was to study the application of this method to Albian carbonate rocks of the Quissamã Formation. Based on what is found in nearby fields, this Formation potentially contains hydrocarbon accumulations that can be

8. Comparing blast-induced ground vibration models using ANN and empirical geomechanical relationships
Abstract Blasting remains as an economical and reliable excavation technique, but there are some environmental shortcomings such as the control of blast-induced vibration. The impacts of vibration over surrounding communities in a blast area have been investigated for decades and researchers have been using a myriad of empirical predictive attenuation equati

9. Dynamic Response of Dam-Reservoir Systems: Review and a Semi-Analytical Proposal
Abstract This paper presents a review of current techniques employed for dynamic analysis of concrete gravity dams under seismic action. Traditional procedures applied in design bureaus, such as the Pseudo-Static method, often neglect structural dynamic properties, as well as ground amplification effects. A practical alternative arises with the Pseudo-Dynami

10. Seismic Pressures in Offshore Areas: Numerical Results
Abstract The purpose of this study is to obtain numerical estimations of seismic pressures in offshore areas considering the effect of seabed configurations and soil materials. To this end, the Boundary Element Method is used to irradiate waves, so that force densities can be obtained for each boundary element. From this hypothesis, Huygens´ Principle is im

11. Assessment of Redundancy Factors for the Seismic Design of Special Moment Resisting Reinforced Concrete Frames
Abstract A parametric study devoted to assess the impact of increasing the structural redundancy in ductile reinforced concrete (RC) moment framed buildings is presented. Among the studied variables were the number of stories and the number of bays. Studied models were 4, 8, 12 and 16-story frames with a story height h=3.5 m (11.5 ft). Nonlinear static analy

12. Inversão sísmica para impedância acústica na caracterização de reservatórios : impacto da extração da wavelet e do aumento da banda de frequências / Seismic inversion to acoustic impedance in reservoir caracterization : the impact of wavelet extraction and increase the frequency band
The substrates that constitute a reservoir are identified using seismic data. The process consists of determining reservoir petrophysical properties. However, sub-seismic layers structures are masked due to the limitation of conventional seismic data. The failure provided by these data produces an erroneous model of reservoir. The lack of vertical resolution
