Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Seismic Assessment Procedure for Exterior Reinforced Concrete Beam–Column Joints With Slab and Transverse Beams

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.
ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.

A Surrogate Model for Stability Assessment of Two‐Layered Cohesive Slopes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 10, Page 4142-4163, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel surrogate model for rapid stability evaluation of two‐layered cohesive slopes under undrained conditions. The model eliminates the need for iterative calculations and slip surface searches, allowing for fast and accurate stability assessments without reliance on advanced numerical tools. The formulation is derived

Upscaling the Strength Domain of Heterogeneous Cohesive‐Frictional Materials via a General FFT‐Based Limit Analysis Approach

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Limit analysis and yield design provide a well‐defined mathematical framework for upscaling the strength properties of heterogeneous materials. These techniques can be incorporated into an FFT‐based computational micromechanics framework to evaluate the strength of heterogeneous materials, based on images of their microstructure.

Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

Study on Deformation Law of Crossing Layer Drilling Superimposed Floor Roadway

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 2752-2771, June 2026.
Based on deformation law of crossing layer drilling superimposed floor roadway, low dip angle drilling is particularly susceptible to complications such as borehole blockage and collapse. ABSTRACT Floor extraction roadway crossing layer drilling is a pivotal strategy for gas control in areas prone to coal and gas outbursts.

Embodied Intelligence for Soil Health toward Sustainable Smart Agriculture: Sensing the Soil with Flexible Geotextiles Sensors

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines the transition from rigid to flexible soil sensing technologies in the context of soil as a dynamic and heterogeneous environment. By integrating sensor types, sensing modalities, materials, fabrication and deployment strategies, and IoT‐enabled energy and communication approaches, it highlights geotextiles as scalable sensing ...

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.
