Estimation of losses for adobe buildings in Pakistan [PDF]
, 2012 Adobe buildings are vulnerable to seismic forces. Large scale destructions and casualties have been caused due to the collapse of adobe buildings during the past earthquakes. A significant number of adobe structures exist in different parts of Pakistan,

A seismic vulnerability index method for masonry schools in the province of Yazd
, 2014 School facilities in Iran, in particular masonry schools, have shown poor performance during past earthquakes and can be identified as the most vulnerable buildings to the earthquakes. Hence, in this paper a method to perform observational-based damage assessment for brick masonry schools located in the province of Yazd, the central region of Iran ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Semi‐Active Movable Shear Keys for Seismic Response Control of Bridges
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 483-499, February 2026.ABSTRACT The size of the joint gaps plays a significant role in the dynamic performance of bridges. This has recently motivated the consideration of movable shear keys (MSKs), pioneered by the corresponding author, to enhance bridge performance by changing the bridge support/boundary conditions.

Simplified PBEE to Estimate Economic Seismic Risk for Buildings [PDF]
, 2004 A seismic risk assessment is often performed on behalf of a buyer of large commercial buildings in seismically active regions. One outcome of the assessment is that a probable maximum loss (PML) is computed.
