Summary: This paper presents a new 3D analytical model for partially prestressed concrete (PPC) beam-column elements subjected to static and dynamic loads. The model includes plasticity theory and yielding surfaces to detect damage and determine the location of plastic hinges in the structural components. Experimental tests were conducted to verify the accuracy of the analytical model, and the results showed good agreement with numerical analysis. Additionally, a comparison of seismic response between reinforced concrete (RC) and PPC structures demonstrated the improved stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the structure with PPC members, as well as a decrease in the number of plastic hinges.

Summary: This study proposes a novel approach for glucose regulation in type-I diabetes patients. The approach considers uncertainties in glucose-insulin metabolism and utilizes the Immersion and Invariance (I&I) theorem to derive adaptation rules for unknown parameters. A deep learned type-II fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) is introduced to compensate for estimation errors and ensure stability. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated through simulations, which show that the suggested method can regulate glucose levels effectively in a short period of time.

Summary: This study evaluates the post-earthquake damage to track-bridge systems by conducting nonlinear time history analysis on a CRTS II ballastless track simply-supported beam system subjected to transverse earthquake loading. It explores the characteristics of residual displacement and stiffness degradation of the track-bridge system under transverse earthquakes. The research investigates the effect of earthquake-induced stiffness degradation on high-speed trains and proposes a reconstruction method for earthquake-induced dynamic irregularity characteristic curve considering probability guarantee rates. The results indicate that earthquake-induced dynamic irregularity can effectively quantify the running performance of high-speed trains under earthquake-induced stiffness degradation conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the large deformations caused by liquefaction in sloping ground and the methods for evaluation and mitigation. Soil element tests and centrifuge model tests were conducted to study the relationship between residual strain and Post-liquefaction Deformation Potential (PLDP). The tests showed that the developments of residual strain were controlled by PLDP, which is correlated with the maximum cyclic shear strain. The applicability of PLDP was verified in model tests, and the mitigation mechanisms of densification and drainage induced by stone columns were observed.

Summary: The impact of far-field earthquakes on underground structures, especially tunnels, has been relatively less explored compared to near-field earthquakes. However, the study found that far-field earthquakes can generate forces in tunnel lining that are equally destructive as those induced by near-field motions, especially when they contain long-period waves. The amplification of these ground motions in soft natural clays, common in Bangkok, can lead to significant soil displacements and shear strains.

Summary: Offshore near-fault ground motions during the 2016 OffMie Mw6.0 earthquake in the Nankai Trough of Japan were studied using data from the DONET1 seafloor seismic network. The results show that offshore spectral acceleration and peak ground velocity are higher than onshore values. Analysis of pulse-like ground motions reveals differences in amplitude, frequency content, and energy between offshore and onshore motions. These findings have implications for seismic design of offshore engineering structures.

Summary: The natural spatial variability of soil properties affects the mechanical response of geotechnical structures and can deviate failure surfaces. For soil liquefaction induced by seismic activity, it has been found that greater excess pore water pressure is generated in soils with small-scale variability. This paper provides an explanation based on centrifuge experiments and numerical simulations, showing that partial drainage during earthquakes may trigger softening of dilative soils.
