Random excitation of a system with bilinear hysteresis [PDF]
, 1960 An analysis is made of the response of a system with bilinear hysteresis to random excitation. It is shown that for moderately large inputs, the additional damping created by the bilinear hysteresis decreases the mean squared deflection compared with ...

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 336-349, February 2026.ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Derivation of fragility curves for traditional timber-framed masonry buildings using nonlinear static analysis [PDF]
, 2013 Recent earthquakes and two experimental campaigns on timber-framed masonry walls have shown that timber-framed masonry buildings possess a good displacement capacity and hence can withstand severe earthquakes without collapse.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...

Unreinforced masonry structures
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1996 Unreinforced masonry is widely used in Australia as an architectural and structural material. Because of its high mass, lack of ductility and low tensile strength it is unsuitable for use in areas of high seismicity. However in countries of lower seismicity such as Australia it can be used provided it is designed, detailed and constructed correctly ...

Structural Accommodation as a Coastal Adaptation Response to Sea‐Level Rise: Lessons From Europe
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Global sea‐level rise is intensifying pressures on coastal regions, increasing the need for adaptation strategies (e.g., protect, retreat, accommodate). At the same time, decision makers require a better understanding of the available responses to address the widening adaptation implementation gap.

Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 94-106, February 2026.ABSTRACT This study presents a novel remote sensing method to detect 17th‐century environmental elements associated with the historical fortifications of Gdanska Glowa in Poland. By integrating 10‐band multispectral imaging, high‐resolution (1 m) digital elevation models, vegetation metrics and random forest classification within Google Earth Engine ...
