New Zealand contributions to the global earthquake model’s earthquake consequences database (GEMECD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Global Earthquake Model’s (GEM) Earthquake Consequences Database (GEMECD) aims to develop, for the first time, a standardised framework for collecting and collating geocoded consequence data induced by primary and secondary seismic hazards to ...

3D‐Printed High‐Fidelity Pediatric Mannequin for Rigid and Flexible Bronchoscopy Training on Difficult Airways

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The article describes the design and manufacturing process of a novel pediatric high‐fidelity pathological mannequin for clinical training on unanticipated difficult airway management using rigid and flexible bronchoscopy. The mannequin has been developed from the CT scans of a 19‐month‐old polysyndromic patient (Crouzon Syndrome), thanks to the ...

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Seismic behaviour and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The seismic vulnerability associated to existing reinforced concrete buildings, constructed until the late 1970’s, in urban areas of many European countries with moderate to high seismic hazard, is of extreme importance.

Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Experimental Dataset From Full‐Scale Near‐Collapse Tests on Two‐Storey, Two‐Bay Masonry‐Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames With Timber‐Based Reinforced Concrete‐Timber Panel Seismic Retrofit

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

Evaluation of Local & Global Ductility Relationships for Low-Rise Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The paper presents the findings on a parametric study of the period lengthening effects of low-rise masonryinfilled reinforced concrete frame buildings using an incremental dynamic analysis (IDA).

Photonic band structure of highly deformable, self-assembling systems

open access: yes, 2001
We calculate the photonic band structure at normal incidence of highly deformable, self-assembling systems - cholesteric elastomers subjected to external stress.
