Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…Within a 20-km-wide contractional stepover between two segments of the fault zone, the San Bernardino and Coachella Valley segments, folds, and dextral-reverse and dextral-normal faults form an east-west belt of active structures. The dominant active structure within the stepover is the San Gorgonio Pass-Garnet Hill faults, a dextral-reverse fault system that dips moderately northward. …”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…The reduced expression and/or discontinuous nature of exhuming fault systems, which produces variable levels of crustal exposure, may account for this lateral heterogeneity across the mountain belt. Deciphering the complex kinematics of continental tectonics requires the integration of observations and data over large length scales and a range of structural levels.…”

Seismic performance of corroded reinforced concrete column-slab connections by Sutantyo, Samuel Kurniawan

“…Flat plate RC system has been used predominantly around the world due to the ease and speed of making the formwork. Aside from that, beams and drop panel are also omitted, which permits the higher floor to floor height. …”

An artificial neural network model for multi-flexoelectric actuation of plates by Fan, Mu, Yu, Pengcheng, Xiao, Zhongmin

“…Flexoelectric effect can be used to design actuators to control engineering structures including beams, plates, and shells. Multiple flexoelectric actuators method has the advantage of less stress concentration and better control effect, but the mode-dependent optimal actuator locations could influence the flexoelectric actuation effect significantly. …”
