Geometric Limits for the Seismic Design of Unreinforced Masonry Fence Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 130-149, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Current seismic design standards require masonry free‐standing walls to comply with regulations for masonry structural walls. Applying these current seismic design standards to fence walls (free‐standing walls) may be inappropriate due to the different restraint conditions between fence walls and structural walls.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Reinforced Soil Slopes With Vertical Rib and Inclined Reinforcement: Application to Embankment Slopes

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reinforced soil technology is widely applied in slope stabilization, yet the optimal configuration of reinforcement remains a key design challenge. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of vertical rib‐reinforced and inclined‐reinforced geogrid layouts through scaled physical model tests (1:10) and finite element simulations using MIDAS GTS.

Seismic Analysis of Unreinforced Masonry Walls

IDRiM Journal, 2017
The Alpine-Himalayan belt which covers the entire Himalayan range of India is the second most active seismic belt in the world. In the Himalayan range, the Indian plate is in an on-going collision with the Eurasian plate. The consequent interlocking between the two plates causes a release of accumulated strain at several faults in this collision zone ...

The Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains: a new seismic source in the low seismicity northern region of New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

Experimental data from out‐of‐plane shake‐table tests on unreinforced masonry gables

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 4227-4245, December 2025.
This article presents a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the out‐of‐plane (OOP) seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) gables in existing buildings. Addressing a critical gap in published research, the dataset provides novel experimental data on the incremental dynamic OOP behavior of three URM gables tested under seismic ...

Impact assessment of earthquake early warning systems in Central America

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 3094-3122, November 2025.
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems aim to alert users in advance of imminent shaking, enabling them to take action. In collaboration with local seismic agencies, the Swiss Seismological Service (SED), has developed national EEW systems across Central America.
