A New Surface Rupture of the 1556 Huaxian M ∼ 8.5 Earthquake Revealed by Rock Surface Luminescence Dating of a Bedrock Fault Scarp and Colluvial Wedges

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Bedrock fault scarps and their associated colluvial wedges provide key evidence for reconstructing paleoearthquakes. We apply rock surface luminescence dating to a bedrock scarp on the Huashan fault in central China, using OSL‐depth profiles (DPs) from multiple heights. Results reveal two coseismic displacements of 6.8 and >1.0 m.

Coulomb Pre‐Stress Changes Modulate Coseismic Rupture Kinematics of the 2025 Mw7.7 Myanmar Earthquake Revealed by Space Geodesy

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract We estimate the fault geometry and coseismic slip of the 2025 Myanmar earthquake using multi‐source satellite observations, revealing a nine‐segment rupture structure that transitions from eastward‐dipping in the north to westward‐dipping in the south, with peak slip of ∼6 m and negligible shallow slip deficit.

Tsunami Casualty Risk Assessment Integrating Evacuation Tower Placement, Seismic Road Network Performance Enhancement, and Disaster Education

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Semi‐Active Movable Shear Keys for Seismic Response Control of Bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 483-499, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The size of the joint gaps plays a significant role in the dynamic performance of bridges. This has recently motivated the consideration of movable shear keys (MSKs), pioneered by the corresponding author, to enhance bridge performance by changing the bridge support/boundary conditions.

Predicting Seismic Debris Distributions of Collapsed Unreinforced Masonry Structures Through Physics Engines and Machine Learning Algorithms

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are widespread worldwide, particularly in older urban districts. However, URM buildings—particularly those constructed before the introduction of modern building codes—are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard, and prone to experiencing local and/or global failures when subjected to significant horizontal shaking ...
