The composition and oxidation state of aerosol iron were examined using synchrotron-based iron near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy. By combining synchrotron-based techniques with water leachate analysis, impacts of oxidation state and mineralogy on aer ...
Building-specific loss assessment methodologies utilize component fragility curves to compute the expected losses in the aftermath of earthquakes. Such curves are not available for steel columns assuming they remain elastic due to capacity design considera ...
