Development of an Inventory Modelling Framework for Seismic Risk Assessment of Residential Buildings in Eastern Canada

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

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.

A simplified model for analysis of unreinforced masonry shear walls under combined axial, shear and flexural loading [PDF]

, 2012
A macro computational model is presented in this study for simulating the nonlinear static behavior of masonry walls. The adopted strategy is based on modeling the nonlinear behavior of masonry elements considering it as an orthotropic material and ...

Observational Seismic Fragility Models for Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Based on Building‐by‐Building Damage Data From the 2012 Emilia Earthquakes

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 11, Page 2927-2946, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, Italy has been affected by multiple earthquakes, revealing the significant vulnerability of existing structures. These seismic events have resulted in notable human and economic losses, emphasising the importance of evaluating the impact of one or more seismic events on various building types.

Performance Assessment of Friction Pendulum Bearings in Bridges via Data Assimilation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 9, Page 2172-2193, 25 July 2025.
ABSTRACT Seismic isolation techniques are widely used in regions susceptible to earthquakes. From a long‐term maintenance perspective, it is crucial to develop methodologies for assessing the post‐installation performance of these systems based on monitored data.

Challenges in High‐Fidelity Implicit Block‐Based Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Out‐of‐Plane Two‐Way Bending in Unreinforced Brick Masonry Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1836-1858, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This study deals with the high‐fidelity block‐based finite element simulation of dynamic out‐of‐plane (OOP) responses of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, explicitly focusing on two‐way bending behaviors under seismic loads, which is a common critical failure mode in real‐world masonry structures.

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 ...
