Arquitectura y Vivienda de Interés Social
Authors: Sarbag Paola
Published: August 2023

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito analizar las estrategias proyectuales utilizadas por los arquitectos Jaime y Miguel Ángel Roca en el conjunto habitacional Santo Domingo de la Ciudad de Córdoba en 1970, e indagar acerca de las relaciones de dichas estrategias con los lineamientos del “Plan Viviendas Económicas Argentinas” (V.E.A.), impulsado por el gobierno nacional entre 1969 y 1972. Además, la implementación del Plan habilita una doble interpretación: primero, la construcción  de viviendas de bajo costo asociada a las lógicas de la producción industrial, y segundo, las discusiones en torno al tema de la vivienda de interés social en el ámbito disciplinar. En este sentido, la elección de un caso de estudio (proyectado, gestionado y construido bajo estos lineamientos) sirvió para verificar los alcances, las limitaciones y las potencialidades del Plan.

Due to polymorphism and complex crystal structure, compounds of the argyrodite family and phases based on them exhibit several interesting functional properties, such as thermoelectric, photoelectric, optical, as well as ionic conductivity for Cu+ and Ag+ cations. The paper presents the results of the study of phase equilibria in the Ag8SiSe6-Ag8SiTe6 system by DTA, XRD, and SEM methods. Refined data on the melting temperature (1278 K) and polymorphic transitions (315 K and 354 K) of the Ag8SiSe6 compound are presented. The crystallographic parameters of LT-Ag8SiSe6 (Cubic, F-43m, a = 1.0965 nm) and IT-Ag8SiSe6 (Cubic, P4232, a = 1.0891 nm) are also determined. It has been established that the investigated system is quasi-binary and its phase diagram is characterized by the formation of a continuous series of substitutional solid solutions between HT-Ag8SiSe6 and Ag8SiTe6. This process is accompanied by a strong decrease in the temperatures of polymorphic transformations of Ag8SiSe6, which leads to the stabilization of the ion-conducting cubic phase at room temperature in the >10 mol% Ag8SiTe6 compositions area. The crystal lattice parameters of the synthesized solid solutions are calculated by indexing the powder diffraction patterns. The stabilization of the high-temperature cubic phase at room temperature achieved by us presents new opportunities for the development of environmentally friendly thermoelectrics and ion-electronic conductors based on silicon argyrodites with desired composition and properties.

Published: August 2023

Recent advances in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnostics have improved the management of disease progression significantly, which have also boosted the efficacy of antiviral therapies. The detection of HIV at the earliest is very important. A highly recognized and effective virological biomarker for acute HIV infections is p24 antigen. This brief overview is based on advances of HIV diagnosis while focusing on the latest HIV testing technologies including HIV-specific antigens detecting assays of both anti-HIV antibodies and p24 antigen. In addition to other emerging molecular diagnostics for acute HIV infection, the utilization of p24 antigen has been summarized. Moreover, it has been explained how these immunoassays have reduced the window period for detection of HIV in the acute stage of infection.
Factors affecting the shear wave elastic quantitative measurement of penile tissue in rats
Authors: Rao Wan-Ting , Tang Jing-Dong , Xing Jin-Fang
Published: August 2023

Background:

As a new ultrasound technology, 2-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) can evaluate the elastic characteristics of penile tissue. However, no studies have reported the main factors affecting the shear wave elastic quantitative measurement (SWQ) in penile tissue.

Objectives:

To analyze the main factors affecting the SWQ reflecting the elastic characteristics of penile tissue by 2D-SWE.

Methods:

Twenty healthy male Sprague–Dawley rats (5–60 weeks old) were selected for this study. We performed the 2D-SWE examination on the penis using the Aixplorer ultrasound system, with SWQ as the measurement index. We performed penile immunohistochemistry analysis with the positive area proportion (PAP) of alpha-smooth muscle actin (PAPS) and type III collagen fiber (PAPC) as the outcomes. Then, we conducted multiple linear regression analysis to explore the correlation of SWQ with PAPS and PAPC and established the regression equation.

Results:

The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the linear regression equation (SWQ = 10.376 – 0.05 PAPS – 0.07 PAPC) was statistically significant (F = 21.153, P < 0.001). The content of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and collagen fibers was negatively correlated with SWQ, affecting 42.6% of the total variation in SWQ (R
2 = 0.426).

Conclusions:

SMCs and collagen fibers are the main factors affecting the SWQ value of penile tissue and the primary tissue components determining the SWQ when using 2D-SWE to quantitatively evaluate the elastic characteristics of penile tissue.
Flower bagging affects seed quality and dormancy period in Na-Oogst tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var H-382)

Published: August 2023

Seeds of tobacco plants are unable to germinate immediately after harvest because they have a dormancy period. The seed dormancy period may be shortened by bagging methods to affect the hormone content in the seeds. The bagging flower makes the dark conditions in the process of flowering and seed development, affecting the content of the hormone’s auxin and ABA. This study aimed to determine the effects of different bag colors on the dormancy period of tobacco seeds as evidenced by their vigor and viability. The research was conducted from March to August 2022 at PT. Dwi Light Tobacco Green House, Lombok Wetan, Bondowoso, Indonesia. Four crepe colors of paper were used as bagging treatments (black, red, yellow, blue) and control (without bagging) and replicated four times. The results showed that the bagging treatment significantly affected one hundred-seed weight, seed germination, seed growth rate, and seedling height. Black crepe paper resulted in the highest seed germination percentage (98.5%) and seed growth rate (11.68).

Financial Distress, CEO Overconfidence dan Tax Avoidance
Authors: Jevita Astria , Siregar Sylvia Veronica
Published: August 2023

This study aims to analyze the impact of financial distress and CEO Overconfidence on tax avoidance. The worse a company's financial difficulties, the more likely the company is to engage in tax evasion. CEOs who are overly confident tend to take tax evasion actions. The population in this study are Indonesian companies listed on the IDX from all industrial sectors. This research was conducted in all industrial sectors in Indonesia with a total sample of 353 non-financial companies and included the conditions of the pandemic (Covid-19) used as a moderating variable. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression panel data and panel data regression moderation. The results showed that financial distress had a positive and significant effect on corporate tax avoidance, while CEO overconfidence had no effect on corporate tax avoidance. The more the company is in a dangerous condition of capital adequacy, the greater the level of tax evasion committed by the company. This research is useful for identifying risks and conducting tighter supervision of tax avoidance actions.

Published: August 2023

Aus der Sicht der Lehranstalt für systemische Familientherapie reflektieren die Autor’innen wesentliche Motive, die bislang gegen eine Akademisierung ihrer Ausbildung sprechen. Argumentiert wird aus drei Perspektiven: aus der Verortung der Profession Psychotherapie als Umwelt von Wissenschaft, der Verortung des Lehr-Lern-Verständnisses im Kontext eines systemischen Paradigmas und der Verortung von (Aus-)Bildung als Treiber gesellschaftlicher Inklusions- und Exklusionsdynamiken. Demgegenüber werden Motive, die eine Umstellung auf akademisierte Lehre nahelegen, herausgestellt und das so hervortretende Spannungsverhältnis als mehrdeutige Differenz diskutiert. Abschließend werden mögliche Initiativen für eine zukünftige Organisation der Ausbildung figuriert.

Gegen die Akademisierung der Psychotherapie aus dem Geist der Klinischen Psychologie
Authors: Slunecko Thomas
Published: August 2023

Der Beitrag referiert zunächst einige wissenssoziologische und -historische Kontexte, die für das Verständnis aktueller Diskussionen über die Akademisierung der Psychotherapieausbildung von Bedeutung sind. Auf dieser Basis wird an dem Ende 2019 beschlossenen Gesetz zur Reform der deutschen Psychotherapeutenausbildung die darin angelegte enge Verkopplung mit dem Psychologiestudium im Allgemeinen und mit der Klinischen Psychologie im Besonderen als vertane Chance zu einer entscheidenden inhaltlichen und institutionellen Neuaufstellung der Psychotherapieausbildung gewertet. Vorhersehbar werden in dieser Liaison Einseitigkeiten des derzeitigen Psychologiestudiums in Bezug auf die Vermittlung psychotherapeutischer Wissensbestände jenseits der Kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie sowie die Engführung auf ein naturwissenschaftlich-szientistisches Wissenschaftsverständnis fortgeschrieben. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgt ein Plädoyer dafür, bei der in Österreich anstehenden Reform – und Akademisierung – der Psychotherapieausbildung die bisher die Ausbildung tragenden privaten Vereine nicht wie in Deutschland abzudrängen und auch andere universitäre Anspielstationen als die Klinische Psychologie in Betracht zu ziehen.

Authors: Yurina Nova , Syahrawati My , Arneti Arneti , Busniah Munzir
Published: August 2023

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control method that combines several control techniques by considering ecological, economic, and sociological consequences. Management efforts with IPM principles can be conducted by cultivating healthy plants and entomopathogen application. This study examined the IPM package's success for controlling fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in maize field. This research was conducted in a farmer's maize plantation in the West Pasaman District from August to December 2021. The study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) which consisted of three treatments and five replications. The treatments were different cultivation techniques using IPM, Non-IPM, and control. The variables observed were the population of S. frugiperda (individual/plant), attack rate (%), attack intensity (%), cob weight (g/cob), and farming cost (IDR). The results showed that the IPM and Non-IPM maize cultivation techniques had no different effect on S. frugiperda, especially survival stage, attack rate, intensity, and yield. However, this effect was higher than the control. In addition, the economic benefits of cultivation with IPM were higher than non-IPM. Therefore, this IPM package can be recommended for controlling S. frugiperda because it is also economically profitable and environmentally friendly.

Analisis Yuridis Terhadap Saksi Korban Dibawah Umur Yang Disumpah Dalam Kasus Tindak Pidana Pencabulan (Studi Kasus Putusan Nomor 1162/Pid.B/2021/PN.Bdg)
Authors: Nada Samyra  , Setiyono
Published: August 2023

Pada ketentuan sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (KUHAP) dijelaskan bahwasanya seorang anak dengan usianya belum mencapai 15 tahun tidak bisa memberikan keterangan sebagai saksi yang dibawa sumpah diambil sumpahnya sehingga belum bisa dijadikan alat bukti yang sah bagi Hakim di persidangan guna memeriksa, mengadili serta memutus suatu perkara pidana. Namun, di dalam Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Bandung Nomor 1162/Pid.B/2021/PN.Bdg terdapat adanya penggunaan keterangan saksi dari anak yang masih di bawah umur dan diterima sebagai alat bukti. Adapun permasalahan yang timbul dari putusan tersebut adalah Apakah keterangan dari anak yang masih dibawah umur dapat dikategorikan menjadi suatu alat bukti yang sah dan apakah pertimbangan Hakim yang menjadikan anak dibawah umur sebagai saksi korban yang memberikan keterangan di bawah sumpah bertentangan dengan KUHAP. Dalam penelitian hukum ini digunakan tipe penelitian hukum normatif melalui penggunaan data sekunder berbentuk Bahan hukum primer dan juga sekunder. Pengelolaan data dilakukan secara kualitatif dan pengambilan kesimpulan dilakukan dengan deduktif. Adapun hasil penelitian ini yaitu adanya pelanggaran hukum pada keputusan tersebut yang mengakibatkan keterangan dari anak yang masih dibawah umur tersebut tidak mempunyai kekuatan untuk menjadi alat bukti yang sah. Oleh karena itu pertimbangan hukum yang diberikan oleh majelis hakim adalah kurang tepat karena sepatutnya Hakim tidak perlu menyumpah seorang anak dibawah umur dalam memberikan keterangan di muka persidangan.

S100B and optic nerve sheath diameter correlation in head injury patients with contusions
Authors: Thotakura Amit Kumar , Velivela Kiran Chand , Marabathina Nageswara Rao , Riyaz Abdul Aziz , Vuddandi Siva Prabodh , Danaboyina Ankamma Rao
Published: August 2023

S100B is a biochemical marker of head injury and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a non-invasive bedside technique to detect intracranial pressure. We aim to demonstrate whether ONSD correlates with S100B protein in head injury patients with contusions and also whether the grade of contusion correlates with S100B protein. This is a prospective study done on head injury patients aged between 18 and 75 years having isolated contusions admitted within 24 h of injury. Patients were assessed neurologically with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and cranial computed tomography study on admission. Ocular sonography was done for ONSD recording, and S100B protein venous samples were collected at 24 h, 48 h, and at discharge. The outcome was evaluated with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at discharge and 3 months. Out of 42 patients, the mean age was 46.2 years and 27 were males. There were 12 patients with mild, 25 with moderate, and 5 patients with severe head injury. The mean GCS at 24 h was 12.35, the mean ONSD at 24 h was 3.9 mm, and the mean S100B at 24 h was 0.214 µg/L. There was a statistically significant correlation noted between mean S100B and contusion grade. A moderate positive correlation was noted between ONSD and S100B at 48 h in mild and moderate head injury groups. Favorable outcome (GOS 4,5) at 3 months can be predicted by GCS, contusion grade, and S100B values. Better GCS (14 and 15), focal contusion grade, and S100B values (<0.5 µg/L) predict good outcome. Although ONSD and S100B give important information in different scenarios, S100B gives better predictive information in patients with traumatic cerebral contusions.

Key message:

S100 B and ONSD are simple biochemical and radiological investigations that can be done in every neurosurgical setup and can be useful in the management of head injury patients.
WS2-Graphene van der Waals Heterostructure as Promising Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries: First Principles Approach
Authors: T. K Bijoy , Sudhakaran Sooryadas , Lee Seung-Cheol
Published: August 2023

In this work, we report the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations on van der Waals (VdW) heterostructure formed by vertically stacking single-layers of tungsten disulfide and graphene (WS2/graphene) for employing them in Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as an anode material. The electronic properties of the heterostructure reveal that the graphene layer helps to improve the electronic conductivity of this hybrid system. Indeed, the charge transfer from Li to WS2/graphene heterostructure further improves their metallic character. Moreover, the Li binding energy in this heterostructure was higher than that of Li-metal's cohesive energy, which indicates the possibility of Li-dendrite formation in this WS2/graphene electrode is low. In addition, the effect of heteroatoms like boron (B) and nitrogen (N) doping on the graphene layer of the heterostructure on Li-adsorption ability is also explored here. The results suggest that B-doping improves the Li-adsorption energy. Interestingly, the computed open-circuit voltage (OCV) and Li-diffusion energy barrier also favor that this heterostructure can act as a promising anode material for LIBs.

Published: August 2023

Within the context of the development of phosphorus-based Lewis acids, we report herein the synthesis of four fluorophosphonium organic Lewis acids, with tetracarbonyl cobaltate as counter-anion: [R3PF]+[Co(CO)4]- (with R = o-Tol, Cy, iPr, and tBu). These novel ion pairs were fully characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and, for three of them, X-ray diffraction. The catalytic activities of these ion pairs were investigated for the carbonylation of β lactones to succinic anhydrides. [tBu3PFCo(CO)4] IV (3 mol%) afforded 91 % of succinic anhydride after 16 h at 80 °C, at a very mild pressure of 2 bar of carbon monoxide. To our knowledge, this work is the first report on using fluorophosphoniums as main-group Lewis acids in a transition metal-catalyzed reaction.
Machine Learning-Boosted Docking Enables the Efficient Structure-Based Virtual Screening of Giga-Scale Enumerated Chemical Libraries

Published: August 2023

The emergence of ultra-large screening libraries, filled to the brim with billions of readily available compounds, poses a growing challenge for docking-based virtual screening. Machine Learning (ML)-boosted strategies like the tool HASTEN combine rapid ML prediction with the brute-force docking of small fractions of such libraries to increase screening throughput and take on giga-scale libraries. In our case study of an anti-bacterial chaperone and an anti-viral kinase, we first generated a brute-force docking baseline for 1.56 billion compounds in the Enamine REAL lead-like library with the fast Glide HTVS protocol. With HASTEN, we observed robust recall of 90% of the true 1000 top-scoring virtual hits in both targets when docking only 1% of the entire library. This reduction of the required docking experiments by 99% significantly shortens the screening time.In the kinase target, the employment of a hydrogen bonding constraint resulted in a major proportion of unsuccessful docking attempts and hampered ML predictions. We demonstrate the optimization potential in the treatment of failed compounds when performing ML-boosted screening and benchmark and showcase HASTEN as a fast and robust tool in a growing arsenal of approaches to unlock the chemical space covered by giga-scale screening libraries for everyday drug discovery campaigns.
Linearized Pair-Density Functional Theory for Vertical Excitation Energies
Authors: Hennefarth Matthew , King Daniel , Gagliardi Laura
Published: August 2023

Multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory (MC-PDFT) is a computationally efficient method that computes the energies of electronic states in a state specific or state average framework via an on-top functional. However, MC-PDFT does not include state-interaction among these statets, since the final energies do not come from the diagonalization of an effective model-space Hamiltonian. Recently, multi-state extensions such as linearized (L-) PDFT have been developed to accurately model the potentials near conical intersections and avoided crossings; however, there has not been any systematic study evaluating their performance for predicting vertical excitations at the equilibrium geometry of a molecule, when the excited states are generally well separated. In this letter, we report the performance of L-PDFT on the extensive QUESTDB data set of vertical excitations using a database of automatically selected active spaces. We show that L-PDFT performs well on all these excitations and successfully reproduces the performance of MC-PDFT. These results further demonstrate the potential of L-PDFT, as its scaling is constant with the number of states included in the state-average manifold, whereas MC-PDFT scales linearly in this regard.
Development of an Efficient Thionolactone for Radical Ring-Opening Polymerization by a Combined Theoretical/Experimental Approach

Published: August 2023

The environmental impact of plastic waste has been a real problem for the past decades. The incorporation of cleavable bonds in the polymer backbone is a solution to make a commodity polymer degradable. When radical polymerization is used, this approach is made possible by the radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) of a cyclic monomer that allows the introduction of a weak bond into the polymer backbone. Among the various cyclic monomers that could be used in rROP, thionolactones are promising structures due to the efficiency of the C=S bond to act as radical acceptor. Nevertheless, only few structures were reported to be efficient. In this work, we used DFT calculations to gain better understanding of the radical reactivity of thionolactones and in particular we focused on the transfer rate constant ktr value and its ratio with the propagation rate constant kp of the vinyl monomer. The closer to 1, the better the statistical incorporation of the two comonomers into the backbone. With this approach, we identified and prepared the 7-phenyloxepane-2-thione (POT) thionolactone. The copolymerization of styrene and various acrylate derivatives with POT led to statistical copolymers that were efficiently degraded under accelerated conditions (KOH in THF/MeOH, TBD in THF or mCPBA in THF), confirming the theoretical approach. The compatibility with RAFT polymerization was established as well as the homopolymerization behavior of POT. This theoretical approach paves the way to the in-silico design of new efficient thionolactones for rROP

The involvement and partnership of stakeholders have been identified as crucial factors influencing program implementation. This study focuses on examining the contributions and partnership strategies of external stakeholders involved in the implementation of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program in Bontoc District, Mountain Province. Using a qualitative research design through interview, observation and focus group discussion, the study identified and described the contributions and partnership strategies of external stakeholders in the ALS program implementation, based on insights provided by the five ALS teachers in the district. Through thematic approach, the results show that external stakeholders play a significant role in the implementation of ALS programs in Bontoc District. They contribute through financial assistance and provision of learning spaces by the Municipal and Barangay Local Government Units, monetary and non-monetary donations from alumni, learning materials from the Provincial Local Government Unit (LGU), free skills trainings and certifications from Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and psychosocial support from parents. These contributions are the result of effective partnership strategies employed by the stakeholders, including resource sharing, collaboration with professional colleagues, engagement with alumni, and partnering with TESDA. ALS teachers recognize the value of these engagements in enhancing program implementation. However, they also acknowledge the need to strengthen partnerships with these stakeholders to fully leverage their potential for strengthening the ALS program implementation. Establishing networks and linkages with external stakeholders such as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is identified as a means to significantly enhance the curricular and instructional efficiency and effectiveness of the ALS program.
Mentors’ and Mentees’ Experiences in a Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education Programme: A Phenomenological Study in a Public University in China
Authors: Tang Ying , Eng Lin Siew
Published: August 2023

This phenomenological study explores the experiences of mentors and mentees in a Sino-Foreign Cooperative Education (SFCE) programme at a public university in China. Since the implementation of the SFCE programme in 2015, no study has been conducted to investigate the experience of mentors and mentees. Using purposive sampling, data were collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations with six mentors and six mentees, who were selected from a public university in China. The data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach, from which five major themes emerged. The findings highlight the benefits of the SFCE programme for participants, especially for mentees. However, mentors and mentees also faced challenges related to cultural differences and effective mentoring relationships in teaching assessment, teaching style, and management. The facilities and educational resources also require further improvement to ensure the effective implementation of the SFCE programme, and, notably, mentors do not share enough educational resources with mentees. The programme schedule was intensive for mentors and mentees and, thus, needs to be adjusted to improve the SFCE programme. The study concludes with recommendations for both the foreign and Chinese universities that participated in the SFCE programme, to set up a Programme Management Committee to improve communication, to encourage building up better mentoring relationships, and to create a supportive training environment.
Experimental Veriﬁcation of Design Proposal for Cross-sectional Curved Steel Plates in Shear
Authors: Van Staen Gilles , Van Bogaert Philippe , De Backer Hans
Published: August 2023

The use of curved steel plates has been increased over the last few years, especially when it comes to the cross-sectional level. The y increase the bridge’s aesthetics and can be beneficial to the overall bridge performance. Examples of curved webs in steel box girders can be found in Belgium, The Netherlands and Vietnam. Unfortunately, no standard or code covers the design criteria for curved plates in shear. The lack of rules or codes results in a rather conservative design or more complicated computational work. Based on numerical analysis, the authors of this research have published a design proposal that works similar as for flat plates in shear. Since this design proposal is surely based on finite element analysis, it is not possible to have a 100% certainty about its reliability. Especially since curved plates are believed to be very imperfection sensitive. For this reason, two girders with a single curved web are designed and tested in a three-point-bending test. Both webs were given a different curvature radius, but have equal dimensions. During the test, both strains and deformations were monitored. In addition, the full web behaviour was captured by a 3D photographic system. The experiment showed that the webs had a higher resistance towards buckling than was expected based on the numerical predictions. Finally, the results are compared with the design proposal and numerical calculations.
Nonlinear Analysis of Cable-Supported Bridges Using an Open-source Finite Element Software

Published: August 2023

It has been shown that the nonlinear differential equations representing the structural system of a suspension bridge exhibit nonlinear modal coupling. Mathematicians even demonstrated that such coupling could lead to large torsional vibrations of the bridge deck. It appears that such large oscillations from nonlinear modal coupling originate from geometric nonlinearities of the bridge structure. Since such nonlinear coupling could play a role in the stability of cable-supported bridges under wind effects, it is deemed necessary to develop a better understanding of the nonlinear behavior of cable-supported bridges. This was done using nonlinear finite analysis results of nine suspension bridges and two cable-stayed bridges with main spans ranging from 856 m to 4140 m. For this purpose, Code_Aster, an open-source finite element software, was utilized for the required numerical simulations. This paper therefore presents the authors’ experience with the development and usage of a framework for the nonlinear analysis of cable-supported bridges based on an open-source finite element software. At first, the advantages and disadvantages of using an open-source finite element software instead of a commercial one are discussed in the context of cable-supported bridges. Then, an overview of the analysis framework is provided, which includes the development of macro-commands for the calculation of cable preloads, nonlinear aerostatic analysis and nonlinear generalized stiffness analysis. This is followed by a presentation and discussion of typical results for the validation of the cable-supported bridge models and results of nonlinear analysis. Finally, a plan is outlined for future developments of the framework.

Cable-stayed bridges are a constant topic of study, they are pleasing to the eye and have a good seismic performance. Some important cable-stayed bridges in Mexico are ageing and there is a need to review their structural response. As built drawings are necessary to carry out a thoroughly review, however, ageing bridges blue prints are incomplete or lack important information, such is the case of cable pre-stressing forces, concrete mechanical properties and damping ratio. These are common source of uncertainty. In the analytical fragility assessment of bridges, several uncertainties are inherent in the estimation of seismic damage. Several techniques have been widely used, such as Monte Carlo simulations, simplified fragility estimation, Bayesian methodologies, among others. However, there is not much research about point estimate methodologies that are just as precise as other techniques and demand much lower computation time.

In this regard, in this paper a probabilistic approach for the lateral seismic fragility of cable stayed bridges is presented. Point estimates simulations are used. We study a cable-stayed bridge whose configuration is widely used in Mexico. A numerical model is developed considering the nonlinear response of the components and its uncertainties. A collection of real ground motion records is used as applied load, from which the fragility curves are then obtained by analysing the structure using Non-linear Time History Analysis (NTHA). Then, the fragility curves of piers and pylon are presented.
Numerical Study on Inﬂuence of Mass on Dynamic Performance of Piles with Pre-hole Seismic Isolation System in IABs

Published: August 2023

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) could fundamentally resolve the durability problems of expansion joints. The concrete piles beneath the abutments are the most vulnerable components in IABs. To improve the seismicperformanceof IABs, the pile with pre-hole filled by damping materials (called pre-hole seismic isolation system) has been proposed. In this paper, the shaking table test of the pre-hole seismic isolation system under sine wave load is simulated by using the finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit. The influence of the mass on the pile top and the pre-hole dimension on the dynamic performance of the pre-hole seismic isolation system was analysed. It can be concluded that with an increase in the mass or pre-hole dimension, the fundamental frequency of the pile-soil system decreased. With an increase in the input wave’s frequency, the pile with a pre-hole seismic isolation system could have a better seismic performance by reducing the mass or pre-hole dimension.
Some details from the original static calculation of the Chain bridge in Budapest – 1842
Authors: Hajós Bence
Published: August 2023

The Chain Bridge over the River Danube in Budapest is the most famous chain bridge in the world. This bridge is the symbol of Hungary. It was originally built between 1839 and 1849 based to the plans of William Tierney Clark who was also supervising the work. The superstructure was rebuilt in 1914-15. 30 years later, it was destroyed at the end of World War II but rebuilt in 1949. The Chain Bridge still stands today and serves public traffic. The stress-analysis of the first original chain bridge was kept in secret by the designer. Unexpectedly, in the summer of 2022, the original detailed calculation was found in an old library with the handwriting of W. T. Clark. It is a special and unknown technical document. You can follow the steps of the bridge design in it from that time, when the knowledge of dimensioning had barely begun to develop. We present the basics and details of the original calculation, with some comments in light of the possibilities of modern methods.
