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.

Non-linear static procedures applied to high-rise residential URM buildings [PDF]
, 2016 © 2016 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht In this work, the vulnerability of an unreinforced masonry building, evaluated on the one hand by using the incremental dynamic analysis, and on the other hand by using nine representative non-linear ...

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.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF VENTILATED MASONRY FAÇADES WITH INTEGRATED RETENTION SYSTEMS
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 145-150, April 2026.Abstract An effective strategy to mitigate seismic risk and enable the use of ventilated façades in seismic regions, while taking advantage of their high energy efficiency, consists of implementing retention or containment systems that prevent the detachment and fall of façade components during a seismic event.

Optimization of Intervention Strategies for Masonry Buildings Based on CLT Components
Heritage, 2022 Unreinforced masonry has been for centuries one of the most widespread constructive techniques for both massive structures and civil buildings (e.g., palaces, hospitals, houses), for the most still standing nowadays.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Dynamic Response of Unreinforced Masonry Building
Journal of the Earthquake Engineering Society of Korea, 2004 The seismic behavior of a 1/3-scale model of a two-story unreinforced masonry (URM) structure typically used in constructing low-rise residential buildings in Korea is studied through a shaking table test. The purposes of this study are to investigate seismic behavior and damage patterns of the URM structure that was not engineered against seismic ...
