Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of a Simplified Lateral Spring Formulation for Rocking Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3540-3560, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

Design Internal Forces of Non‐Dissipative Members in CBFs With Regular and Irregular Brace Configurations

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3443-3465, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used in seismic regions, with chevron and split‐X configurations commonly adopted for their structural efficiency and architectural flexibility. Although extensive research has been carried out on these systems, the effectiveness of the formulations available in the literature for estimating

Seismic Fragility of Gravity and Semi‐Gravity Retaining Walls and Its Impact on the Functionality Loss of Road Infrastructures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3612-3630, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Retaining walls are key geotechnical components of road infrastructure, whose seismic performance directly affects the resilience of transportation networks. Despite their importance, seismic fragility models for retaining walls available in the literature refer only to specific case studies.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

CyberShake NZ: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis in New Zealand Using Physics‐Based Ground‐Motion Simulations

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
This study presents the computational components and workflow developed to conduct probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in New Zealand (NZ) using physics‐based ground‐motion simulations, referred to as “CyberShake NZ.” Semi‐automated procedures generate multiple realizations of kinematic rupture models, create rupture‐specific velocity models ...

Long‐Term Earthquake Response in a Midrise Reinforced Concrete Building: Insights From Hybrid Seismic Monitoring

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
We present a multidecadal analysis of the seismic response of a midrise reinforced concrete (RC) building in Taipei, Taiwan, combining legacy strong‐motion accelerograph (SMA‐1) data with recent recordings from a dense array of low‐cost microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)‐based Quake Structural Integrity System (QSIS) sensors.

The Protective Action Decision‐Making Process in Emergency Responses During and After Earthquake Tremors: Qualitative Findings From the Elazığ and İzmir Earthquakes

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Understanding behavioral responses during and immediately after an earthquake is critical to reducing injuries and developing preparedness strategies. This study identifies response patterns under seismic threat using qualitative evidence from the 2020 Elazığ and İzmir earthquakes in Türkiye.
