Seismic vulnerability assessment of unreinforced masonry single story buildings in Sulaymaniyah city

Sulaimani Journal for Engineering Sciences
Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are among the most vulnerable structural types in seismic regions, particularly in developing cities where construction quality and material properties vary significantly.

Converging Vocabulary, Diverging Attribution: Resilience Concepts and the Acting Subject in the National Disaster Risk Management Strategies of 25 EU Member States

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT European disaster risk management has converged on a shared resilience vocabulary faster than on a shared account of who is expected to produce resilience. This article codes 2218 passages from 38 strategic documents in 25 EU member states along two dimensions: resilience type (engineering, ecological, transformative) and governance ...

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Adaptive multiagent system for seismic emergency management [PDF]

Presently, most multiagent frameworks are typically programmed in Java. Since the JADE platform has been recently ported to .NET, we used it to create an adaptive multiagent system where the knowledge base of the agents is managed using the CLIPS ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

Integrated vulnerability assessment: the relevance “to” and “of” regional and urban planning

, 2005
The paper focuses on three main questions: - How relevant is multi-risk assessment to Regional and urban planning? - Why spatial planning is relevant to the vulnerability assessment? - Why to work out integrated vulnerability maps?

Accounting for Biases in the Analysis of Building Damage Data for the 2023 M7.8 Türkiye/Syria Earthquake Sequence

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

Earthquake and socio-economic vulnerability assessment in Dhaka city

, 2021
Earthquake is one of the most extreme hazards that cannot be measured out of all the natural hazard reported. It has a major ability to degrade an urban socio-economic structure with geological components.

Collocated Geotechnical and Geophysical Test Dataset at Three Sites in Napier, New Zealand

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Reliable assessment of liquefaction hazard, particularly in the context of groundwater fluctuations associated with hydroclimatic changes and variability between liquefaction assessment methods, necessitates supplementary data and advanced site characterization methods.

Cross‐Entropy of Power Spectral Density Function: A Modal Identification Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3012-3028, 10 October 2026.
ABSTRACT The power spectral density (PSD) function of measured structural response contains a significant amount of information, including the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios). Output‐only system identification or modal identification technique can be used for extracting such modal parameters from the measured response or its ...
