Influence of longitudinal and transverse gaps of C-shaped steel restrainers on the seismic performance of friction-pendulum-isolated railway bridges under oblique seismic excitation

To prevent excessive displacement of friction pendulum bearings (FPBs) under earthquake action and the associated increase in unseating risk, this study considered a simply supported high-speed railway bridge with 50 m hollow piers. A full-bridge finite element model with FPBs eq...

Full-scale field evaluation of a net zero energy greenhouse concept integrating electrified heating, envelope improvements, and on-site photovoltaics

Abstract To address climate change and the transition to a low-carbon society, greenhouse horticulture must improve energy performance, as greenhouse facilities are energy-intensive systems requiring environmental control for crop cultivation. In particular, winter heating relies...
