PLASTIC JOINTS IN BRIDGE COLUMNS OF ATYPICAL CROSS-SECTIONS WITH SMOOTH REINFORCEMENT WITHOUT SEISMIC DETAILS

In seismically active areas, knowledge of the actual behavior of bridges under seismic load is extremely important, as they are crucial elements of the transport infrastructure.To assess their seismic resistance, it is necessary to know the key indicators of their seismic response.Bridges built before the adoption of standards for seismic detailing

Fire suppression and climate change have increased the frequency and severity of wildfires, but the responses of many organisms to wildfire are still largely unknown.In this study, we assessed the risk of habitat loss for amphibians, mammals, and reptiles caused by wildfires in central Mexico.We accomplished this by: (1) determining the likelihood
