    Description / Table of Contents: This 7.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in the state of Gujarat in western India. Approximately 14,000 lives were lost and over 167,000 persons injured. Damage was spread over a radius of 400 kilometers from the epicenter. The first major quake to hit an urban area of India in the last 50 years, it caused extensive liquefaction and slope failures but no primary surface fault rupture. The resulting net economic loss is estimated to be about US $5 billion. This volume is a joint report from the combined EERI-NSF team. It covers the seismotectonic setting; local geological and geotechnical effects; performance of buildings, lifelines, and other structures and facilities; and social and governmental response.

    Description: The present study examines the non-coaxial aspects of incremental material behavior, and attempts to classify the incremental non-coaxiality that relates stress and strain increments. In the solid mechanics literature, non-coaxiality (NC) refers usually to incremental strains and stress states having different principal directions. Departing from conventional non-coaxiality, the analysis investigates the incremental non-coaxiality (INC) of linearized rate-type solids. This study uses the concept of deviatoric second-order work for examining the relations between stability and incremental non-coaxiality. Based on a spectral analysis of the constitutive compliance matrix, it proposes three classifications for distinguishing various degrees of incremental non-coaxiality and stability. These classifications determine the conditions for the existence of incremental coaxiality (i.e., colinearity of stress and strain increments), stability, instability, and stable-instable transition (i.e., positive, negative, or zero second-order deviatoric work). The study illustrates these classifications in the cases of generic elastic and elastoplastic constitutive models. The analysis pertains to two-dimensional cases. Additional research is required to extend the analysis from two to three dimensions.

    Description: Urban water distribution systems worldwide contain numerous old and fragile pipes that inevitably break, flood streets and damage property, and disrupt economic and social activities. Such breaks often present dramatically in temporal clusters as occurred in Los Angeles during 2009. These clustered pipe breaks share many characteristics with human mortality observed during extreme climatological events such as heat waves or air pollution. Drawing from research and empirical studies in human epidemiology, a framework is introduced to analyze the time variations of disruptive pipe breaks that can help water agencies better understand clustered pipe failures and institute measures to minimize the disruptions caused by them. It is posited that at any time, a cohort of the pipes comprising the water distribution system will be in a weakened state due to fatigue and corrosion. This frail cohort becomes vulnerable during normal operations and ultimately breaks due to rapid increase in crack lengths induced by abnormal stressors. The epidemiological harvesting model developed in this paper simulates an observed time series of monthly pipe breaks and has both explanatory and predictive power. It also demonstrates that models from non-engineering disciplines such as medicine can provide improved insights into the performance of infrastructure systems.

    Description: Placé sous l’invocation de Montaigne, le présent volume est le quatrième ouvrage collectif offert aux lecteurs par les membres du Groupe de Recherches « Les écrits du for privé en France de la fin du Moyen Âge à 1914 » (www.ecritsduforprive.fr). Cet ensemble d’écrits ordinaires – mémoires, autobiographies, livres de famille ou de raison, diaires, journaux intimes, chroniques ou annales – se développe en Europe de la fin du Moyen Âge à l’époque moderne, pour devenir un mode courant d’expression au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles. Ils sont parfois nommés écrits « personnels » ou écrits « intimes » et certains d’entre nous utilisent aussi, pour les désigner, le terme très significatif d’ego-documents. Celui-ci renvoie fortement à l’idée que l’écriture de ces textes n’est pas seulement une pratique qui pourrait être mise à distance par les scripteurs, mais qu’elle influe profondément sur la fabrique même de la vie. Une relation puissante existe, en effet, entre de tels textes et l’idée que l’homme occidental disposerait en lui-même d’un espace de réflexion intérieure qui est généralement appelé le « moi » ou le « soi ». Lorsqu’il aborde un texte donné, le chercheur sait donc qu’il part à la rencontre d’une individualité, celle du scripteur, dont il va chercher à explorer, à travers ses écrits, non seulement les intentions apparentes dans les actions, ou affleurantes dans le langage, mais également les mécanismes de la pensée qui le constituent comme un individu au sein d’une société donnée. À travers un ensemble d’études de cas qui courent du Moyen Âge au début du XXe siècle, nous avons ainsi souhaité explorer la relation complexe qu’entretient ego avec lui-même et son monde social, et ce à travers le prisme de ses écrits privés.
