Seismic vulnerability of existing masonry buildings: Nonlinear parametric analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Existing masonry structures are usually associated to a high seismic vulnerability, mainly due to the properties of the materials, weak connections between floors and load-bearing walls, high mass of the masonry walls and flexibility of the floors.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 13, Page 3320-3340, 25 October 2025.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the seismic performance of a multi‐span masonry arch bridge using an advanced modeling approach based on the Distinct Element Method. Located in Italy and constructed of regular stone masonry, the bridge features three consecutive arch vaults with similar geometry.

Modern masonry structures and earthquakes : reinforced or unreinforced? [PDF]
, 2013 The evolution of structural masonry is briefly reviewed, from old thrust line behavior to modern global behavior using shear walls. For modern structural masonry, the use of unreinforced, confined and reinforced masonry is addressed in seismic areas.

Unreinforced concrete masonry for circular construction
Architectural IntelligenceAbstractThis paper proposes an effective approach to realise circular construction with concrete, and shows Unreinforced Masonry as a foundational building block for it.The paper outlines the importance of circularity in building structures. It specifically focuses on the impact of circular construction with concrete on improving the sustainability of ...

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.
