Shear Strengthening of Stone Masonry Walls Using Textile-Reinforced Sarooj Mortar
BuildingsMost historical buildings and structures in Oman were built using unreinforced stone masonry. These structures have deteriorated due to the aging of materials, environmental degradation, and lack of maintenance.

Fragility curves and loss estimation for traditional timber-framed masonry buildings in Lefkas, Greece [PDF]
, 2015 The 2003 earthquake in the Greek island of Lefkas, has revived the interest for the local anti-seismic technique based on the use of timber-framed masonry, whose adequate performance during the earthquake revealed the merits of this rather sophisticated,

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1694-1709, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.The U.S. Geological Survey recently updated the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI). The first version of the PRVI NSHM was released in 2003, and therefore this 2025 update includes over 20 years of new geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, methods, and models.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems offer critical seconds for protective actions, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on human interpretation and response. This article presents a systematic literature review of factors shaping public behavior during earthquakes and in response to EEW alerts.
