Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Frequency-independent damping models for a high-rise building with simultaneous horizontal and vertical seismic motions

Frontiers in Built Environment
Recent seismic analyses indicate that the structural damping ratio should be considered frequency-independent, for safe and accurate estimations. In response, damping models like the Wilson–Penzien (WP) damping model, that is one of the modal damping ...

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1694-1709, 10 July 2026.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1828-1844, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1924-1941, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 47, 11 June 2026.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks
