NSR-10 Titles J and K in an office building: evacuation time and fire resistance of the slab
Eight-storey office building with 960 occupants: exit widths and travel distance under Title K, evacuation time with the SFPE hydraulic model, and slab reinforcement temperature under the ISO 834 curve for the 2-hour requirement of Title J.

Site response of a soil layer: a finite difference model verified against the closed-form solution
Shear wave propagation in a 30 m layer over rock, solved by finite differences and checked against the theoretical transfer function. The model reproduces the 1.67 Hz fundamental frequency and the 5.05 amplification with a maximum error of 0.17%.

Seismic Uncertainty in RC Frames with Unreinforced Masonry: Bayesian Updating with Puebla 2017 Data
DIADICA Synthetic Core applied Bayesian inference to update the collapse probability of concrete buildings with unreinforced masonry walls: from 46.9% in the theoretical model to 32.9% once field evidence was included.
