Accounting for Biases in the Analysis of Building Damage Data for the 2023 M7.8 Türkiye/Syria Earthquake Sequence

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

Experimental testing and numerical modelling of infill masonry walls subjected to in-plane damage

, 2014
This work presents experimental test results obtained on clay unit masonry infill walls for framed structures. Tests were carried out on one-bay, real scale reinforced concrete frames, by imposing in-plane cyclic displacements at the frame top beam until

In Situ Testing and Finite Element Analysis of a Discontinuous Mortise and Tenon Stone Bridge Under Natural Excitation

Buildings
To study the dynamic response of multi-span mortise and tenon stone bridges under natural excitation, a bluestone multi-span stone bridge with a main span of 2.56 m in southern China was taken as the research object.

Fragility analysis of masonry structural units by Response Surface method

, 2018
Structural masonry aggregates include a set of inhomogeneous structural units that can interact under seismic action; therefore the seismic analysis cannot ignore the inevitable interactions resulting from structural contiguity between adjacent ...

Seismic Performance and Vibration‐Based Damage Identification of Two‐Storey Balloon‐Framed CLT Shear Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3052-3073, 10 October 2026.
ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...

Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3302-3318, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

From point clouds to geometry for detailed micro-modelling of masonry structures

, 2018
Over the last few decades significant efforts have been placed on the development of detailed numerical models to predict the mechanical behavior of historical masonry structures. However, an issue faced in the numerical modelling of historic and damaged
