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.

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.

Out-of-plane in situ cyclic testing of unreinforced stone masonry walls with distributed loads [PDF]
, 2012 The present paper reports an in situ experimental test campaign carried out on existing buildings, in order to investigate the seismic behaviour of traditional masonry walls subject to out-of-plane loads.

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

Development and experimental validation of building systems for masonry housing in seismic areas [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

Seismic Behaviour of an Unreinforced Masonry Building with Various Floor Systems
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 Summarization: This paper shows the influence of floors rigidity on the seismic behavior of stonemasonry buildings with different floor systems. The construction of horizontal reinforced concrete beams at floor levels in parallel with wooden floors or the replacement of wooden floors with reinforced concrete slabs increase the horizontal diaphragm in ...

Seismic Behavior and Vulnerability of Masonry Dwellings in Eastern Türkiye: A Comprehensive Analysis
Applied SciencesFrom 1940 to the present, Turkish seismic standards for masonry building have gradually evolved, culminating in the performance-based TBEC (2018). Unregulated tenant expansions and informal construction, especially in rural areas, continue to be a ...
