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.

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.

Effects of Single and Multi Openings in Brick Infills on the Seismic Response of Infilled RC Frames
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Many researchers have performed a lot of studies of the seismic behavior reinforced concrete (RC) frame with masonry infill. They found that masonry infill affects the lateral strength, stiffness and ductility performance of the RC frame structures ...

Experimental assessment of an innovative strengthening material for brick masonry infills [PDF]
, 2015 The vulnerability of masonry infill walls has been highlighted in recent earthquakes in which severe inplane damage and out-of-plane collapse developed, justifying the investment in the proposal of strengthening solutions aiming to improve the seismic ...

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 ...

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

A comprehensive review on the influence of masonry infill wall properties and opening configurations on the seismic response of RC buildings [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesAlthough masonry infill walls are frequently regarded as non-structural elements, they have a substantial impact on the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. In order to assess how infill properties and frame behavior interact, this review

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.

Discrete Element Modeling of Masonry-Infilled Frames [PDF]
, 2016 In this chapter, the different modeling strategies for simulating the behavior of masonry infilled frames are investigated. Particular emphasis is given on the suitability of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to accurately represent the mechanical behavior, strength and ductility of concrete and brickwork masonry infilled frames.
