Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

Influence of Relative Permeability Formulations on Hysteretic Seepage in Infinite Slopes
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5663-5679, November 2026.ABSTRACT The paper investigates the impact of two classical relative permeability formulations, one expressed in terms of pore water pressure and the other in terms of degree of saturation, on the predicted seepage in an infinite slope subjected to surface pore pressure variations.

Analytical Methodology to Determine Thermally Induced Soil Deformation From Laboratory Data
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5868-5890, November 2026.ABSTRACT Experimental laboratory investigations underlie most of the knowledge about the mechanics of soils under non‐isothermal conditions and their thermally induced deformation. Despite advances, the understanding of thermally induced deformation of soils remains inconsistent, hindering the development of a coherent framework that can advance ...

Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5891-5918, November 2026.ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...
