Design approach of high damping rubber bearing for seismic isolation
Patrick L.Y. Tiong,James M. Kelly,Tan T. Or 국제구조공학회 2017 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.20 No.3
Structural control through seismic isolation using elastomeric rubber bearing, which is also known as High Damping Rubber Bearing (HDRB), has seen an increase in use to provide protective from earthquake, especially for new buildings in earthquake zones. Besides, HDRB has also been used in structural rehabilitation of older yet significant buildings, such as museums and palaces. However, the present design approach applied in normal practice has often resulted in dissimilar HDRB dimension requirement between structural designers and bearing manufacturers mainly due to ineffective communication. Therefore, in order to ease the design process, most HDRB manufacturers have come up with catalogs that list all necessary and relevant product lines specifically for structural engineers to choose from. In fact, these catalogs contain physical dimension, compression property, shear characteristic, and most importantly, the total rubber thickness. Nonetheless, other complicated issues, such as the relationship between target isolation period and displacement demand (which determines the total rubber thickness), are omitted due to cul-de-sac fixing of these values in the catalogs. As such, this paper presents a formula, which is derived and extended from the present design approach, in order to offer a simple guideline for engineers to estimate the required HDRB size. This improved design formula successfully minimizes the discrepancies stumbled upon among structural designers, builders, and rubber bearing manufacturers in terms of variation order issue at the designing stage because manufacturer of isolator is always the last to be appointed in most projects.
Being Chanthaly, Becoming Lao Cinema
Patrick F. Campos 연세대학교 영어영문학과 BK21 Plus 사업단 2019 Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context Vol.12 No.2
Mattie Do’s Chanthaly (2012) is the first horror film directed by a Laofilmmaker and the ninth Lao film produced in the highly state-regulatedfilm industry of post-socialist Laos PDR. The paper locates Chanthaly’sposition in the development of Lao film history, particularly in light ofthe political and cultural conditions and constraints that have shaped thecountry’s national cinema. It also explains the significance of Chanthaly’sarrival in relation to the circumstances of its production. Finally, it offersan interpretation of the film’s narrative of haunting as a spectral doubleof Lao cinema, demonstrating how the film transcends the binary themesthat have produced simplistic and exoticized images of Laos onscreenand opens up the possibilities of conceptualizing new futures for Laofilms.
Signs of Solidarity and Difference: Kaçak Tea, Samimiyet, and the National Public in Turkey
Patrick Charles Lewis 한국외국어대학교 HK 세미오시스 연구센터 2023 Signs and Society Vol.11 No.3
In Turkey, tea is a near-universally consumed beverage that also operates as a salient moral and political sign in social life. This article describes how tea functions as a “medium of value” in the country, circulating as both a physical commodity and a multivalent sign vehicle that is closely linked in popular imagination to modern modes of egalitarian sociability and the formation of Turkey’s postwar multiparty democracy. In describing the semiotic ideologies that inform tea’s uptake as a sign and its place in Turkey’s modern public culture, the article also traces the historical-material processes that have made tea into both a symbolic model of communal solidarity and a salient sign of national difference—a contested semiotic medium of representation that informs popular discourses on public virtue and democratic politics and that is prominently mobilized in divergent public making projects in contemporary Turkey and North (“Turkish”) Kurdistan.
