Performance of historical ferrocement specimens subjected to corrosive environments
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5785-5806, October 2025.Abstract Ferrocement is a type of thin wall‐reinforced concrete composed of hydraulic cement mortar reinforced with several layers of steel wire mesh. The material is used as a low‐cost construction and retrofit solution and allows the creation of very thin elements.

Retrofit of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Geotextile and CFRP
Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2014 A preliminary investigation into the suitability of using geotextile as an inexpensive seismic retrofit material was conducted. Ten specimens of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls were constructed with masonry without bars or other transverse ...

ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 3-4, Page 308-315, September 2025.Abstract Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings constitute an important portion of the European building stock, where metal injection anchors are widely utilized for seismic retrofitting. While crack propagation in URM walls is extensively studied, the interaction between these cracks and structural anchors remains an underexplored area of research. This

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 354-367, September 2025.A new inventory framework for Montreal predicts the structural systems of residential buildings and estimates the number of associated units using open‐access databases and the city's construction trends. The framework supports regional‐scale seismic risk assessments through improved classification and data integration. ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment

Investigating post‐earthquake hospital transportation for casualties through agent‐based modeling
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2028-2059, August 2025.We develop a methodology for modeling post‐earthquake hospital needs and accessibility, coupling a probabilistic regional casualty risk model with a novel agent‐based human behavior model. We use it to study hospital transportation in two socio‐economically distinct districts of Lima, Peru, after a hypothetical moment magnitude 8.0 event.

Seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1986 The ' behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls under seismic loading is considered, with particular emphasis being given to face-load response. It is shown that traditional methods of assessing seismic performance based on elastic stress calculations result in excessively conservative results when compared with more realistic methods of assessment.
