Abstract: The Everglades is a unique ecosystem in Florida that offers a variety of ecosystem services (ES), including water supply and flood risk reduction, water purification, habitats for several endemic species, and recreational ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental investigation on the evaluation of the seismic performance of a new hybrid buckling restrained brace (HyBRB) under cyclic load. Detailed design steps adopted for the HyBRB design are ...

Abstract: This study investigates the determinants that shape individual risk perceptions of future hurricanes and hurricane-related impacts in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. Using a survey of 1,143 respondents, ...

Abstract: The seismic design code of India follows the traditional force-based approach for designing buildings to resist a lateral force representing earthquake excitations. Owing to various limitations of this approach, there is ...

Abstract: For decades, Florida residents have lost billions of dollars in property damage because of wind and wind-driven rainwater intrusion from tropical cyclones. Engineers and scientists have demonstrated that future losses can ...

Abstract: In this study, saturated pool boiling experiments were conducted on copper minichannel and flat surfaces at atmospheric pressure using water as the working fluid. The heat transfer performance was assessed through point ...
