Unreinforced masonry structures
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1996 Unreinforced masonry is widely used in Australia as an architectural and structural material. Because of its high mass, lack of ductility and low tensile strength it is unsuitable for use in areas of high seismicity. However in countries of lower seismicity such as Australia it can be used provided it is designed, detailed and constructed correctly ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...

Structural Accommodation as a Coastal Adaptation Response to Sea‐Level Rise: Lessons From Europe
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Global sea‐level rise is intensifying pressures on coastal regions, increasing the need for adaptation strategies (e.g., protect, retreat, accommodate). At the same time, decision makers require a better understanding of the available responses to address the widening adaptation implementation gap.

Influence of longitudinal reinforcement on development of normal cracks
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005 Using a model of normal crack propagation in reinforced concrete members, an analytical expression is presented for the stress intensity factor defining the intensity of stress in area at the crack tip. This factor is in linear relationship to the stress
