Influence of seismic events on shallow geotechnical structures [PDF]
, 2017 This paper deals with a summary of possible seismic loading of shallow geotechnical structures. It is known that seismic loading influences the underground structures much less than the structures on the surface, therefore, it is not usually taken into ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.This article presents a framework for performing a regional assessment of the accessibility of emergency healthcare facilities after a major earthquake. Accessibility is assessed by applying the enhanced two‐step floating catchment area method to a regional road network, implemented in ArcGIS.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.What drives user perceptions and acceptance of earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) as an emerging technology? Do distinct types of transparency into EEWS affect users’ perceptions of the system's usefulness and desirability differently? To address these questions, we focus on Nepal, an earthquake‐prone country with no active public EEWS ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.We perform linear mixed‐effects analyses with a ground‐motion dataset to evaluate how well ground‐motion models (GMMs) fit active crustal, subduction interface, and subduction intraslab earthquakes in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Most of the GMMs reproduce the spatial variation in peak ground motions with earthquake magnitude and rupture ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.
