In western areas of China, a number of tunnels have suffered severe damage during the Wenchuan earthquake, some quite extensively. The damage provides sufficient evidence to suggest that the safety of tunnels in seismically active areas is still an important issue, but not well understood yet, or...
MAPUTO, April 16 (Xinhua) -- The assessment of damage and impact of cyclone Idai will be concluded in three weeks, the Minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, Osvaldo Machatine, said on Tuesday in Maputo during the opening session of the training seminar on Post-Disaster Nee...
The objective of this work is to assess the uncertainties introduced by different approaches for fatigue damage of ship structural details including discrete, closed-form and spectral approaches. The fatigue life is predicted by S-N approach based on the long-term notch stress range. The influence...
To clarify genotoxic effects of occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs in Japan, we examined DNA damage, assessed by the comet assay, in 121 female nurses and 46 female clerks working at three hospitals in the northeast of Japan. The comet assay is considered to be a sensitive and rapid...
On the other hand, the Acoustic Emission technique, which allows for the assessment of the damage evolution based on the crack advancement energy release, will be introduced when dealing with the Alba towers monitoring. It is worth noting that the pseudocreep tests and the interpretation of the ...
where in the case of prestressing steel damage the load-bearing capacity could be significantly affected, non-destructive testing techniques which enable reliable evaluation of the condition of the prestressing steels are of utmost importance. During the d 为对现有的结构风险潜力的评估,在预加应力钢损伤...
Evaluating metagenomic software is key for optimizing metagenome interpretation and focus of the Initiative for the Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI). The CAMI II challenge engaged the community to assess methods on realistic and co
The damaged proportions were 14.13%, 13.19%, and 3.11% accounting for croplands, forests, and grasslands, respectively, of entire Northeast China. This study proves that DI-based vegetation damage assessment has more potential in large-scale monitoring of typhoon damages. 展开 ...
One of the biggest issues for underground construction in a densely built-up urban environment is the potentially adverse impact on buildings adjacent to deep excavations. In Singapore, a building damage assessment is usually carried out using a three-staged approach to assess the risk of damage ca...
Localised damage in GRP, however, can begin to appear at quite low stresses relative to the composite failure strength, sometimes in the first few cycles [1].This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check access. ...
