The SHS-Multirisk Project proposes a residence model that is simultaneously resistant to earthquakes and hurricanes within specific range of magnitude be defined in the project. It uses simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly construction technologies compared with traditional alternatives or more technological, but less accessible ones. To reach objectives, an experimental campaign carry on...

Liquefaction has occurred during most earthquakes, Niigata 1964, Tangshan 1976, Loma Prieta 1985, Kobe 1995, Chi-Chi Taiwan 1999, Turkey 1999, Haiti 2010, Mexicali 2010 and others. The performance of structures during the Niigata earthquake (1964) in Japan and the nature of damage suffered by them clearly brought out the fact that soil and soil foundation interaction play a significant role in ...

In this study silicon-multi walled carbon nanotube (Si-MWCNT) lithium ion battery anodes were produced and their electrochemical galvanostatic charge/discharge tests were conducted at various (25 ◦C, 35 ◦C, 50 ◦C) temperatures to determine the cyclic behaviors of anode at di erent temperatures. Anodes were produced via vacuum ltration and DC magnetron sputtering technique. Silicon was sputtered...

a nanocomposite of polyaniline (pani) with natural clinoptilolite (clino) was prepared by chemical oxidative polymerization of anilinium cations in the presence of clinoptilolite dispersion. the pani/clino nanocomposite was characterized using ftir, xrd and sem techniques as well as electrical conductivity measurement using four point probe technique. cyclic voltammetry analysis was used to inv...

background: there are many concerns regarding the marginal seal of composite restorations, especially when composite restorations are subjected to cyclic loading. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclic loading on the microleakage of silorane based composite compared with low shrinkage methacrylate-based composites in class v cavities. materials and methods: in this in vitro ...

Total strain-controlled low-cycle-fatigue tests with and without hold times were performed at temperatures ranging from 816°C to 982°C in a laboratory air on a nickel-based superalloy, HASTELLOY X. The influence of hold times on the cyclicstress response and fatigue life was studied. At the temperatures considered, the alloy exhibited initial cyclic hardening, followed by a saturated cyclic-str...

To investigate the variation in the characteristics of rock microstructure after cyclic dynamic disturbances, a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to carry out cyclic dynamic impact tests on granite, and the P-wave velocity was used as the characteristic parameter representing the microstructural change. Using the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique, the porosity and the T2 dis...
