Infill masonry: simple analytical methods for seismic design [PDF]

, 2014
The latest earthquake codes in Europe require the safety assessment of no-structural elements (parapets, masonry wall’s veneer, infill walls, etc.), as their collapse entails risks for people or for the main structure stability.

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

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Seismic analysis of infilled frames

, 1998
A numerical example illustrates the steps associated with the seismic design of masonry infilled frames. The example accounts for the effect of the infill in all the design stages: computing seismic loading, predicting the response and assessing the strength of the infilled frame. Numerical results show that the normal design procedures can account for

Seismic vulnerability of Modern Architecture building's: Le Corbusier style: a case study [PDF]

, 2005
In Portugal, at the end of the World War II, a new generation of architects emerged, influenced by the Modern Movement Architecture, born in Central-Europe in the early twenties but now influenced also by the Modern Brazilian Architecture. They worked
