From Observed Damage to Executable Repair Quantities: The RELA Repair Module
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Postearthquake workflows currently support three distinct classes of decisions: safety clearance through rapid tagging, portfolio‐level economic damage estimation through probabilistic loss models, and field inspections based on locally defined survey forms, which may subsequently trigger project‐specific strengthening through retrofit design. However,

STUDY ON EMPIRICAL SEISMIC CODAL GUIDELINES FOR MASONRY BUILDINGS IN KOLLAM, KERALA, INDIA [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2015 Masonry structures fail miserably due to lateral loads. Recent earthquakes in India and the world and the resulting losses highlighted the structural inadequacy of masonry buildings to seismic loads. Increase in frequency of earthquake in Kerala recently

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from

Numerical Investigation of Masonry Walls Using Mega-Interlocking Concrete Blocks
ModellingConventional concrete masonry construction consists of an assemblage of concrete blocks, mortar, grout, and steel reinforcement. While effective, this constructive method is constrained by its low productivity. In recent decades, advances in construction

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 804-810, August 2026.ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

Investigation of the bed joint reinforcement effect on the drift capacity of modern unreinforced masonry walls [PDF]
MATEC Web of ConferencesBed joint reinforcement significantly affects the shear capacity of masonry walls due to its effective ability to transfer shear forces through a diagonal crack, but how does this phenomenon impact its drift capacity?
