Benchmark Dataset From Centrifuge Shake Table Tests of 3D‐Printed Unreinforced Masonry Structures for Seismic Model Validation

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
This data paper presents a comprehensive dataset derived from a series of 29 centrifuge shake table tests of 29 identical virgin small‐scale physical models of an unreinforced masonry (URM) structure. System‐level testing of full‐scale civil engineering structures under seismic loading is often prohibitively expensive and time‐consuming due to specimen

Application of near surface mounted (NSM) strengthening technique to traditional timber frame walls [PDF]

, 2015
Timber frame buildings are well known as an efficient seismic resistant structure popular all over the world not only due to their seismic performance, but also to their low cost and the strength they offer.

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.

Use of Madhuca longifolia (Mahua) Bark‐Derived Fibers for Enhancing the Performance of Cement Mortar and Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In response to the growing demand for environmentally friendly construction practices, sustainable alternatives to conventional cement, aggregates, and reinforcement fibers (both steel and synthetic) are receiving increased attention. These alternatives often originate from mineral and biological wastes.

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.

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.
