Numerical Investigation of Masonry Walls Using Mega-Interlocking Concrete Blocks

Modelling
Conventional concrete masonry construction consists of an assemblage of concrete blocks, mortar, grout, and steel reinforcement. While effective, this constructive method is constrained by its low productivity. In recent decades, advances in construction

Seismic Risk of Critical Transport Systems: Sensitivity Analysis of the Campania Railway Network to Bradyseism's Features

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of epistemic uncertainties on the seismic risk of a critical transport system, the Campania railway network, during the ongoing bradyseismic unrest at Campi Flegrei, south of Italy. Seismic risk is quantified as the length of the railway requiring post‐event inspection, an operational proxy for service disruption.
