Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 52-69, November 2025.ABSTRACT Northwest Arabia is marked by tens of thousands of monumental burial structures, most of which appear to have been built during the Bronze Age. These funerary features range from simple cairns and tower tombs through to large ‘pendant’ burials with elaborate tail constructions.

A Damage Model for Masonry Infilled Frames [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 The effect of infill walls on the behaviour of frames is widely recognized, and, for several decades now, has been the subject of numerous experimental investigations. However, the analytical modeling of infilled panels and frames under in-plane loading is difficult and generally unreliable. From the point of view of the simulation technique the models

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 3069-3089, 10 October 2025.ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 354-367, September 2025.A new inventory framework for Montreal predicts the structural systems of residential buildings and estimates the number of associated units using open‐access databases and the city's construction trends. The framework supports regional‐scale seismic risk assessments through improved classification and data integration. ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment

Numerical modelling of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames : model calibration and parametric study [PDF]
, 2014 Generally two methods are proposed for analyzing the infilled frames; Micro modelling approach which finite element method is used to take into account local effects in detail and Macro modelling approach which is a very simplified method that takes into

Practical assessment of masonry tunnel joint segmentation using topological machine learning
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 93-110, June 2025.Abstract Condition assessment of masonry lined tunnels is time consuming and labor intensive. Recently developed digital workflows enable structural models to be created automatically, reducing analysis time. As part of these procedures, it is important to be able to identify the location of each masonry block.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1836-1858, June 2025.ABSTRACT This study deals with the high‐fidelity block‐based finite element simulation of dynamic out‐of‐plane (OOP) responses of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, explicitly focusing on two‐way bending behaviors under seismic loads, which is a common critical failure mode in real‐world masonry structures.

Behavior of masonry infill panels in RC frames subjected to in plane and out of plane loads [PDF]
, 2011 The building envelope in Europe is usually made of masonry walls, with enclosure and infill functions. Masonry walls have a major economical importance and contribute significantly to the building performance.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1934-1951, June 2025.ABSTRACT In this study, seismic demand on nonstructural components (NSCs) was analyzed using a combined structural‐nonstructural 2‐degree‐of‐freedom (2‐DOF) model. This model was specifically employed to incorporate coupling effects, which arise from the dynamic interaction between supporting structures and NSCs. The effect of structure‐NSC coupling on

Out-of-plane Proof Testing of Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]
Structures, 2018 Proof testing of multiple fired-clay-brick unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls set within reinforced concrete frames was undertaken using airbags to simulate out-of-plane (OOP) loading. The proof testing was conducted to provide engineers in various research and practitioner roles with verified wall behaviour for the purpose of seismic assessment ...
