Nonlinear analysis of earthquake fault rupture interaction with historic masonry buildings [PDF]
, 2015 The response of historic masonry buildings to tectonic ground displacements is studied through analysis of a simple yet representative soil-foundation-masonry wall system.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.The U.S. Geological Survey recently updated the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI). The first version of the PRVI NSHM was released in 2003, and therefore this 2025 update includes over 20 years of new geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, methods, and models.

Seismic Performance of Anchored Brick Veneer [PDF]
, 2009 A study was conducted on the out-of-plane seismic performance of anchored brick veneer with wood-frame backup wall systems, to evaluate prescriptive design requirements and current construction practices.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

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 ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems offer critical seconds for protective actions, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on human interpretation and response. This article presents a systematic literature review of factors shaping public behavior during earthquakes and in response to EEW alerts.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.The extreme flooding of April 2024 caused a complete “geomorphic reset”, resulting in a 24% widening of the channel and a transition to critical or supercritical flow regimes. The energy of the event broke through the stable armouring layer, reducing the armouring ratio from 7.9 to 4.9 and intensely removing fine sediments from the subsurface.

Experimental evaluation of shear and compression strength of masonry wall before and after reinforcement: Deep repointing [PDF]
, 2007 Masonry presents some inadequacies due to its almost total lack of tensile strength. Typical damage to multiple leaf walls during earthquakes is the loss of bond between the leaves with consequent collapse of the external leaf.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract This study presents a new method to assess the hazard of deposit‐derived pyroclastic density currents (PDC), a critical threat on volcanic islands and on populated slopes of active volcanoes, considering the exemplary case study of Stromboli (Italy).

The use of continuum models for analyzing adobe structures [PDF]
, 2012 As it is known, the adobe structures have a high seismic vulnerability principally due to the low material strength and sometimes due to the inadequate structural configuration.
