Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...

Consensus‐Based Recommendations to Embrace Sustainable Luxury: A Delphi Study
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Integrating sustainability into luxury practices presents unique challenges. Using a two‐phase Delphi method, this study develops consensus‐based recommendations for sustainable luxury. Findings identify key priorities including traceability, fair labour, circular design, and sustainable materials as essential for aligning luxury with ethical ...
