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

Earthquake 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 Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]

, 2002
PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Seismic analysis of reinforced concrete buildings with participating masonry infills

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2021
In this paper, seismic analyses are performed of a reinforced concrete frame building with participating masonry walls are carried out. The spectral method of the Brazilian code – ABNT 15421:2006 – was used to obtain the lateral seismic loads.

Building Back Better Following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence: Repair and Retrofit of Damaged Residential Reinforced Concrete High‐Rise Buildings

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Earthquakes have caused, and will continue to cause, damage to the built environment, resulting in casualties, economic losses, and long‐term societal impacts. One approach to decreasing future losses is limiting the damage that buildings experience during an earthquake and speeding up their recovery by following the “build back better” principle.

On the Out-of-Plane Strength of Masonry Infills Encased in RC Frames

Applied Sciences
With reference to the widespread out-of-plane (OOP) failures of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings during the 6 February 2023 earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, this paper investigates the OOP strength of unreinforced masonry (URM ...
