Seismic Source and Attenuation Studies in the Central and Eastern United States
To better understand the ground motion and associated seismic hazard of earthquakes in the central and eastern United States (CEUS), this dissertation focuses on the source parameters and wave propagation characteristics of both tectonic earthquakes and induced earthquakes in the CEUS. The …

Characteristics and mechanisms of cold air outbreaks in the central and eastern United States
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-10-20 without embargo terms

Multi-hazard performance of steel moment frame buildings with collapse prevention systems in the central and eastern United States
… the reserve strength in the gravity framing, and or auxiliary collapse-inhibiting mechanisms deployed throughout the building, or enhanced shear tab connections, to provide adequate serviceability performance and collapse safety for seismic and wind hazards in the central and eastern United …

Parameters Influencing Seismic Structural Collapse with Emphasis on Vertical Accelerations and the Possible Related Risks for New and Existing Structures in the Central and Eastern United States
… The first study involved identifying structural and earthquake parameters that influenced seismic structural collapse. The parameter study involved nonlinear dynamic analyses using single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) bilinear models. Four parameters were associated with the SDOF models — the lateral …

Probabilistic Seismic Assessment of Structure, Foundation, and Soil Interacting Systems
… curves of a highway overcrossing bridge in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS) are derived employing the aforementioned methods with and without soil-structure interaction. Four different approaches of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) are tried: (a) Abutments and foundations are assumed …

A Cryptic Invasion of the Non-Native Siberian Elm (Ulmus Pumila) to Southwest Missouri
… has been shown to have been invading native landscapes across the central and eastern United States since the late 1800s. The natives, American elm and slippery elm, have declined dramatically due to Dutch elm disease throughout the mid- to late 1900s, creating open niches for the escaping …

Simulation-based fragility relationships for unreinforced masonry buildings
… portion of the residential building stock of the Central and Eastern United States (CEUSA), accounting for 15% of homes in the 8-state region impacted by the New-Madrid Seismic Zone and an even greater portion of the building stock in most other regions of the world. In addition to significant …

Probabilistic Assessment of Non-Ductile Reinforced Concrete Frames Susceptible to Mid-America Ground Motions
The infrequent nature of earthquakes in the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), and the fact that none with intensity comparable to the New Madrid sequence of 1811 12 or the Charleston earthquake of 1886 has occurred in the past century, have caused the earthquake hazard in the region to be …

Impacts of cold pool strength on tornado production in quasi-linear convective systems
… explored the link between cold pool strength and tornadogenesis in quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs). Novel observations from the Verifications of the Origins of Rotations in Tornadoes Experiment-Southeast (VORTEX-SE) and Propagation, Evolution, and Rotation in Linear Storms (PERiLS) …
