Comparative Seismic Assessment Methods for Masonry Building Aggregates: A Case Study
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 Recent seismic events produced considerable socio-economic losses. An important step for the reduction and mitigation of seismic risk in urban areas with a high population density is the assessment of global vulnerability of clustered buildings.

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of unreinforced masonry single story buildings in Sulaymaniyah city
Sulaimani Journal for Engineering SciencesUnreinforced 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.

Assessment and Reduction of the Seismic Vulnerability of a Stone Masonry Vault
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2015 A numerical approach is presented to assess the seismic vulnerability of barrel masonry vaults and evaluate the eectiveness of a traditional retrofitting intervention consisting in the reinforcement of the extrados. A linear elastic no–tension model is adopted to cope with the negligible strength in tension of ancient brick and stone masonry and ...

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study presents a kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear strength of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints without transverse reinforcement. The proposed framework is built on first principles—kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relations—and explicitly models discrete cracks by introducing kinematic parameters such

Seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry buildings in a region of moderate seismicity
Annals of Geophysics, 1997 To assess the seismic vulnerability of masonry buildings is largely matter of personal feeling and experience especially when dealing with old houses made of heterogeneous materials and without a plan. One way to predict their resistance to earthquake forces is the experience on models put on a shaking table.

Hurricane‐induced risk contagion in commercial real estate: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy
Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines how hurricane‐induced destruction affects the prices of nearby undamaged commercial real estate properties, using Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Using Real Capital Analytics transaction records spatially merged with Federal Emergency Management Agency building‐level damage data, we empirically employ a difference ...

A Tale of Two Conditions: 50 Years of Chronic Illness and Cancer From a Nursing Perspective
Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction In this commentary, I consider the disparity between the care we see as a necessity for cancer patients and the lack of care we afford to many persons with chronic disease. Background I ground my arguments in my own clinical practice and research experiences over a 50‐year period augmented by reference to available literature ...
