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

2025 U.S. Geological Survey National Seismic Hazard Model for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: Overview of Model and Hazard Results

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.

From Warnings to Actions: Factors Influencing Response to Earthquake Early Warning—A Systematic Literature Review

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.

Parametrical study of masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading through numerical modeling [PDF]

, 2011
This paper deals with the numerical assessment of the influence of parameters such as pre-compression level, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcement ratios and boundary conditions on the lateral strength of masonry walls under in-plane ...

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF VENTILATED MASONRY FAÇADES WITH INTEGRATED RETENTION SYSTEMS

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 145-150, April 2026.
Abstract An effective strategy to mitigate seismic risk and enable the use of ventilated façades in seismic regions, while taking advantage of their high energy efficiency, consists of implementing retention or containment systems that prevent the detachment and fall of façade components during a seismic event.

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

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 ...

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Shear Strengthening of Stone Masonry Walls Using Textile-Reinforced Sarooj Mortar

Buildings
Most historical buildings and structures in Oman were built using unreinforced stone masonry. These structures have deteriorated due to the aging of materials, environmental degradation, and lack of maintenance.
