“…Therefore, risk management has been a growing issue in recent years (Figure 9). Most urban areas are generally affected during a seismic event due to the lack of implementation of construction regulations in buildings, such as in the case of India in 2001 [116] and the Pedernales earthquake in Ecuador (2016) [342]. In the last case, more than 85 buildings had captive columns, experiencing greater shear demand than assumed in the design.…”

Landslides, earthquakes, and other natural events can change the landscape and generate human and economic losses, affecting transportation and public service infrastructure. In every geotechnical project, the investigation phase plays a fundamental role in reducing the risk of occurrence and mitigating catastrophes. As a result, governments have created entities to study disasters and identify triggering factors that generate huge losses worldwide. This research aims to conduct a systematic review of the relationship between geotechnics and disasters through bibliometric techniques, scientific production evaluation, and case studies analysis to recognize key topics, methods, and thematic development of the research worldwide. The research methodology consisted of three steps: (1) Database analysis, selection, and combination, (2) bibliometric analysis, and (3) systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The systematic review with bibliometric analysis collected data from 1973 to 2021, with 1299 academic publications indexed in the Scopus and WoS database. These results indicated a growing trend of annual publications on disasters and their relationship with geotechnical studies, highlighting current issues and technological innovation. The main research trends in disaster risk assessment were topics mainly linked to landslides, earthquakes, liquefaction, and inappropriate analysis models with applications of geophysical methods, laboratory tests, remote sensing, and numerical models.

“…Implies that informal construction brings methods based on personal experience, which is not optimal [58]. An example was evident in the Magnitude 7.8 earthquake that occurred in Pedernales, Ecuador, in 2016, which left 663 dead, 3.3 billion in economic losses, and thousands of people affected by structural problems in buildings [59,60], where most buildings did not comply with the standards established in NEC-15 [50], which shows that structures must meet minimum requirements, such as the ability to resist the specified forces, dissipation of the energy generated during inelastic deformation, and floor displacements lower than the admissible values.…”

“…Figure 16 (a) and (c) show the infill wall damage grades related to the wall and column indices of each building, separately. The data sets are extended by the field study of the 2016 earthquake in Ecuador [32] for further justification of the very limited Albania data set for midrise buildings. It highlights the need for column indices larger than 0.4 to also limit infill wall damages.…”

On November 26, 2019, a magnitude Mw = 6.4 earthquake struck Northwestern Albania. It was the strongest to hit Albania in more than 40 years. Cities such as Thumanë, Tirana, and Durrës suffered damage, but Durrës was the hardest hit with several building collapsed [1,2].A reconnaissance team under the auspices of American Concrete Institute (ACI) visited Durrës, Albania to assess the extent of damage to modern reinforced concrete (RC) buildings (i.e. built after 1990). The team *1 surveyed buildings during the week of January 12, 2020, with a focus on RC buildings that were infilled with clay block masonry. Over the course of seven days the team documented 55 buildings that had RC frames as their main lateral resisting system. All of the surveyed buildings had unreinforced masonry infills (hollow clay blocks). Most of the buildings had ribbed or waffle slabs. Typical damage observed in these buildings was in-*
