title: 2020 Blind prediction competition for integrated complex structural and nonstructural assessment on steel hospital building

authors: Kurata, M

abstract: Testing of a steel hospital building that represented a complex two- building multi-story hospital - with both fixed and isolated bases, various nonstructural components, and critical medical equipment - was conducted at the E-Defense facility in Japan. The test presented an opportunity to host a multi-phase Blind Prediction Competition (BPC). The contestants competed for modeling accuracy of structural, nonstructural, and functional responses in the two phases, before and after the tests. The prediction of overall structural responses was mostly accurate. However, the local behavior modeling of structural components still needed improvement, even with the preliminary component test results given. Some teams predicted the damage state of the equipment well, but response histories were not as accurate.

title: Hydrogen bonding in hydroxymethylphosphine chalcogenides

authors: Goodwin, Nicholas J.

subjects: Crystal structures

abstract: Hydrogen bonding in the phosphine chalcogenide series Ph2P(X)CH2OH (X=O, 1; S, 2; Se, 3) has been investigated by single crystal X-ray crystallography. While the phosphine oxide exhibits a dimer motif, the sulfide and selenide form infinite chains; in all cases hydrogen bonding is from the OH group to the phosphine chalcogenide heteroatom. The trend in the hydrogen bond angle for OH X-P, which is 117, 87 and 84° for the oxide, sulfide and selenide, respectively, is explained with respect to the geometry of electron density on the phosphine chalcogenide heteroatom.
