Multiparametric modeling of infill shear walls with additionally made openings

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 8716-8740, December 2025.
Abstract The paper deals with the implementation of additional openings in reinforced concrete infill shear walls from the point of view of structural analysis. In the introductory part, the current state of knowledge in the methods of analysis of this issue is discussed, and their advantages or shortcomings are pointed out.

The Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains: a new seismic source in the low seismicity northern region of New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

Comparative assessment of strut models for the modelling of in-plane seismic response of infill walls [PDF]

, 2017
The influence of infills on the seismic response of frame structures has long been recognised. Typically, stiffness and strength of the infill and connections between infill and frame are such that the infill affects the global seismic behaviour of the

The Bronze Age Tombs of Northwest Arabia: A Chrono‐Typological Study From AlUla and Khaybar, Saudi Arabia

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.

Experimental evaluation of the diagonal tension test of hollow clay blocks strengthening with (AR) glass fibers

Case Studies in Construction Materials
In many developing countries, masonry infill walls are commonly constructed using hollow clay blocks. Buildings incorporating these infill walls are particularly vulnerable to seismic loads due to the absence of adequate lateral load-resisting elements ...

Development of Fragility Curves for Reinforced-Concrete Building with Masonry Infilled Wall under Tsunami

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2023
A tsunami is a natural disaster that destroys structures and kills many lives in many countries in the world. A risk assessment of the building under a tsunami loading is thus essential to evaluate the damage and minimize potential loss.

Seismic Capacity and Performance of Waffle‐Flat Plate Structures Under Near‐Fault Ground Motions: Bidirectional Shake Table Tests

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.

Impact of the Textile Mesh on the Efficiency of TRM Strengthening Solutions to Improve the Infill Walls Out-of-Plane Behaviour

Applied Sciences, 2020
Different retrofitting techniques have been developed and proposed to prevent the masonry infill walls (MIW) out-of-plane collapse. Many other authors confirmed that these types of elements are vulnerable when subjected to earthquake loadings, leading to

Development of an Inventory Modelling Framework for Seismic Risk Assessment of Residential Buildings in Eastern Canada

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

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
