Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

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.

Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Rammed Earth and Rubble Masonry Walls

Buildings
Rammed earth and rubble masonry walls are constructed using raw stones as aggregate and native soil as binding material. To investigate the impact of different configurations on the seismic performance of rammed earth and rubble masonry wall, four wall ...

Distinguishing damages from two earthquakes —Archaeoseismology of a Crusader castle (Al-Marqab citadel, Syria) [PDF]

, 2010
Damages from two major earthquakes are identified in medieval Al-Marqab citadel (Latin: Margat) in coastal Syria. Built by the Order of St. John (Hospitallers) in the twelfth–thirteenth centuries, the hilltop fortification has masonry walls made with and

The power of the past: materializing collective memory at early medieval lordly centres

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 34-69, February 2026.
The repurposing of earlier sites and monuments is an enduringly popular theme in early medieval archaeology, but in England it has attracted little interest among Late Saxon and early post‐Conquest studies. From the tenth century, however, an increasingly prevalent pattern is discernible of secular lords locating their power centres in relation to ...

Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of a Partition Damped Wall-Filled Frame Structure

Shock and Vibration, 2019
In the past, earthquakes have caused significant damage to traditional masonry filler wall frame structures. To solve this problem, a new design scheme, the partition damping filler wall, is proposed in this paper to reduce the interaction between the ...
