متن کاملSupplementary material for: Mantle conveyor beneath the Tethyan collisional belt
The surface mechanical boundary conditions for most of our models are shear stress free (free slip), such that plate velocities are driven self-consistently by density contrasts within the mantle (Ricard and Vigny, 1989). The lithosphere in our models is defined rheologically as a relatively stiff layer from the surface to 100 km depth that is “broken” by weak zones of reduced viscosity, as in ...
متن کاملHazard Mitigation, Planning, and Disaster Resiliency:
Knowledge about the causes and consequences of hazards is increasing, but losses continue to rise dramatically. We examine the major benefits of land use planning when applied to hazard mitigation, and then discuss why vulnerable communities fail to enact effective planning programs to prevent hazard-induced losses. We then present five sets of choices that communities can make to advance plann...
متن کاملHazard Mitigation for Earthquake and Subsequent Fire
This paper is a progress report of a MCEER research project on the development of multihazard protection technologies for critical facilities. One important component is to consider earthquake and earthquake induced hazards (e.g. fire, haz-mat leakage, power outrage, etc). This paper is concerned with earthquake and subsequent fire hazards. Records from historical earthquakes show that sometime...
متن کاملSmart Damping Technologies for Dynamic Hazard Mitigation
In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to research and development of structural control devices, with particular emphasis on alleviation of wind and seismic response of buildings and bridges. In both areas, serious efforts have been undertaken to develop the structural control concept into a workable technology. To date, full-scale active and hybrid control systems have been des...
