Parametric Study of Orthotropic Masonry Walls under Static and Dynamic Loading

Tehnički Glasnik
The paper presents a parametric study of unreinforced and confined masonry walls with orthotropic properties under in-plane static and dynamic loading. A previously developed FEM model was extended to simulate the behaviour of the orthotropic masonry and

Adriseismic Methodology for Expeditious Seismic Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Buildings, 2023
The paper describes a novel Adriseismic method for expeditious assessment of seismic risk associated with unreinforced masonry buildings. The methodology was developed for the Adriseismic project of the Interreg ADRION programme, with the aim to develop ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

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

Earthquake 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.

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from

Lateral strength force of URM structures based on a constitutive model for interface element

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
This paper presents the numerical implementation of a new proposed interface model for modeling the behavior of mortar joints in masonry walls. Its theoretical framework is fully based on the plasticity theory. The Von Mises criterion is used to simulate

Force-based macro-element formulation for the analysis of structural masonry shear walls [PDF]

REM: International Engineering Journal
The equivalent frame method is widely used for the structural analysis of masonry buildings subjected to lateral loads. In this approach, masonry structural components are idealized as macro-elements, which consist of reticulated finite elements ...

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

Earthquake 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
