Nonlinear static pushover analysis of the UPLB Main Library

open access: yes, 2016
Laguna is surrounded by numerous faults, one of which is the West Valley Fault which can produce a 7.2 magnitude earthquake event. UPLB is approximately 20 km away from this fault such that a study was conducted to determine seismic risks to buildings in

The Scholar Imprisoned: Young‐Bok Shin's Decolonial Thought Against (Sub) Imperialisms in East Asia

open access: yesSociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article reads Young‐Bok Shin (1941–2016) as a decolonial thinker who theorized transformative worldmaking from the standpoint of the oppressed, rooted in the historical experiences of East Asia. Against the (sub)imperial “logic of sameness” that structures colonial modernity in his social world, Shin advances gongbu (studying) as a ...

Seismic Fragility and Vulnerability of Partially Grouted Flexural‐Controlled Reinforced Masonry Buildings in Colombia

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This paper presents the development of analytical fragility and vulnerability functions for flexure‐controlled partially grouted reinforced masonry (RM) buildings that are representative of Colombian urban areas, with the goal of enhancing national seismic risk assessments.

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1694-1709, 10 July 2026.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

General Framework for Multi‐Degree‐of‐Freedom Stiffness Matrix Updating for Iterative Solution Algorithms in Hybrid Simulation

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1947-1967, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Iterative solvers are advantageous for handling nonlinear structural analysis problems. The iterative solvers often require updating the stiffness matrix, which limits their application in static and pseudo‐dynamic hybrid simulations because: (1) updating the stiffness matrix of a system involving a physical specimen is challenging; (2 ...

Digitisation as archival intermediary: Quantifying and qualifying Greta B. Stevenson's mycological collector networks

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1275-1291, July 2026.
Mass digitisation of natural science collections and archives has increasingly become a priority for scientific heritage institutions. Here, we explore the potential of mass digitisation to improve our understanding of the nature and history of scientific collaboration. Focusing on mycologist Greta B.
