DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2016.10.002
Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the strength reduction factor of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system subjected to the mainshock–aftershock sequence-type ground motions. Both displacement ductility and cumulative damage are considered in the reduction factor. Records of mainshock-aftershock earthquakes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6498/aca0ff
Abstract: Sheltering is one of the countermeasures used to mitigate radiation exposure during nuclear power plant accidents. The effectiveness of sheltering for inhalation exposure is often expressed by the reduction factor, which is defined as the… read more here.
