Prompt identification of structural damage is essential for effective postdisaster responses. To this end, paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN)–based framework to identify seismic based on response data recorded during an earthquake event. The DNN in the proposed constructed by Variational Autoencoder, which one self-supervised DNNs that can construct continuous latent space input learnin...

The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge of the nursing professionals in a surgical center about malignant hyperthermia. This is a descriptive exploratory study on malignant hyperthermia conducted with midand high-level nursing professionals in the surgical center of an institution located in the city of São Paulo, where the research was conducted between August and September 201...

The link between body size and risk of extinction has been the focus of much recent attention. For Australian terrestrial mammals this link is of particular interest because it is widely believed that species in the intermediate size range of 35–5500 g (the “critical weight range”) have been the most prone to recent extinction. But the relationship between body size and extinction risk in Austr...

This paper considers the use of a tuned inerter damper (TID) system for suppressing unwanted cable vibrations. The TID consists of an inerter, a device that exerts a force proportional to relative acceleration, coupled with a parallel spring and damper. It may be thought of as similar to a tuned-mass-damper, but requiring two terminals. As a two terminal device, the performance of the TID is co...

Abstract An earthquake is a random phenomenon in its intensity and frequency content. Since the signal that contains band of frequencies, each has different energy. This means response buildings to earthquakes depends not only on but content as well. In this study, two approaches have been used: deterministic approach which time history analysis show how affects building response, nondeterminis...

The former Imperial County Services Building was a six-story reinforced concrete structure in the El Centro, California, severely damaged by the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake. It represents a rare case of an instrumented building that has been damaged, and thus can serve as a full-scale benchmark to evaluate and further develop structural health monitoring methods. This paper presents an anal...

Seismic evaluations of many existing deck-truss bridges have revealed the vulnerability of their substructure and members of their superstructure. An innovative retrofit strategy developed by the authors includes replacement of the existing non-ductile end and lower-end bracing with ductile panels by incorporating energy dissipating devices to act as fuses, which can yield and dissipate energy ...

In this paper, the effects of post-yielding stiffness on the response of non-linear structural systems subject to seismic actions are investigated. For this purpose, two hysteretic models are analyzed and then compared. The first is a bilinear plastic model, representing structures that exhibit strain hardening characteristics. The second is the elastic-perfectly-plastic model, that, even if do...
