Abstract In this study, we present a local magnitude (ML) relation for the earthquakes recorded from Texas Seismological Network (TexNet) between dates of 1 January 2017 and 31 July 2019. Using comprehensive seismic dataset in Texas, propose distance correction term −logA0, which is consistent with original definition Richter magnitude. The proposed calculation TexNet events accounts attenuation characteristics direct refracted waves over different ranges. Regression analysis Wood–Anderson...
Abstract Seismicity in the Delaware basin is suggested to be associated with oilfield operations. To better characterize seismogenic structures revealed by induced seismicity, this study we determined source mechanisms for of Texas and leveraged obtained perform stress inversion evaluating region’s state. Based on patterns seismicity distribution, identified seven distinctive zones. Within each zone, earthquakes form several parallel-trending linear clusters. Most notably, there an...
Low-rise metal buildings constitute a large portion of the nonresidential construction in United States. These are, most cases, characterized by pinned column-to-foundation connection. Although previous research has been conducted on other components (e.g., knee joints, tapered rafters), there is lack available data performance, particularly terms elastic stiffness, deformation capacity and energy absorption characteristics, base-plate connections. The objective this to evaluate performance...
Abstract Analysis of earthquake locations and centroid moment tensors (CMTs) is critical in assessing seismogenic structures connecting earthquakes to anthropogenic activities. The objective this study was gain insights into the seismotectonics Eagle Ford Shale play (EF), southern Texas, through relative relocation earthquakes, assessment CMT solutions, investigation background stress field. Using Texas Seismological Network (TexNet) data from 2017 2019, we were able relocate 326 obtain...
Abstract The building sector is actively researching and reviewing technical solutions for de‐construction, driven by the increasing importance of sustainability requirements, as outlined in EU Commission's ‘Green Deal,‘ which aims to achieve net‐zero greenhouse gas emissions 2050. Two key research areas efficient structural design strategies are performance hybrid structures, combine mechanical properties architectural appearance different materials, techniques connections between...
Abstract Moving towards a more sustainable and circular infrastructure has increased the demand for demountable connectors in hybrid structures combining steel, concrete, nowadays FRP composite components. Large, prefabricated components need to be transported construction site assembled by means of bolted connections easy reuse Slip‐resistant are required such bridges, which usually provided injection or preloaded bolts. The former satisfies large tolerances during execution. However,...
Low-rise metal building systems are widely used in the United States and worldwide as complex production facilities warehouses, retail stores, shopping centers, schools, libraries medical for their cost effectiveness, easy fabrication quick turnaround times. In most cases, current practice is to assume zero rotational stiffness ("pinned") base-plate-foundation connection of web-tapered columns low-rise buildings both serviceability strength design. The underlying reason this assumption lack...
Abstract A novel injection material for the development of demountable injected bolted connections in oversized holes has been recently developed by Steel and Composite Structure research group at Delft University Technology [1]. This is a steel‐reinforced resin (SRR) which consists spherical steel particles embedded resin. The SRR proved to have several benefits such as increase stiffness strength connection decrease its creep deformation when compared with conventional epoxy Research on...
Abstract To move up the circular economy hierarchy steel profiles should be reused instead of recycled. efficiently utilise limited availability reclaimed elements in new structures, a different approach is required: form follows availability. This paper presents an algorithm for generating truss bridge designs using only steel, which optimises material efficiency and avoids cut‐off waste. The does not require initial design or grid possible positions like commonly used ground structure...
