Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3052-3073, 10 October 2026.ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3302-3318, 25 October 2026.ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

Shear Capacity of Masonry Walls Externally Strengthened via Reinforced Khorasan Jacketing
BuildingsThis study investigates the in-plane shear behavior of solid brick masonry walls, both unreinforced and retrofitted using Reinforced Khorasan Jacketing (RHJ), a traditional pozzolanic mortar technique rooted in Iranian and Ottoman architecture.

High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste
Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 10, Page 1004-1010, October 2026.Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments

Out-of-plane behaviour of masonry walls strengthened with a GFRP reinforced mortar coating
, 2014 A strengthening technique for masonry walls based on the application of a mortar coating reinforced with GFRP meshes was considered in the study, so to evidence its effectiveness for out-of-plane actions.

Response of partially grouted wider reinforced masonry walls to inplane cyclic shear [PDF]
, 2011 Partially grouted wider reinforced masonry wall, built predominantly using face shell bedded hollow concrete blocks, is an economical structural system and is popularly used in the cyclonic areas; its out-of-plane response to lateral loading is well ...

Shear Strengthening of Stone Masonry Walls Using Textile-Reinforced Sarooj Mortar
BuildingsMost historical buildings and structures in Oman were built using unreinforced stone masonry. These structures have deteriorated due to the aging of materials, environmental degradation, and lack of maintenance.

Performance of Masonry walls Under In-Plane Seismic Loading
This paper presents the results of in-plane dynamic tests of masonry walls. Five half-scale walls were built, using half-scale hollow clay brick units. Two mo- ment/shear ratios (1.4 (slender) and 0.7 (squat)) and two mortar types (M2.5 and M9) have been
