Nonstationary Spatial Correlation of Earthquake Ground Motions in California
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Assessing seismic risk to spatially distributed infrastructure systems requires realistic representations of spatially correlated ground motions. Existing models for the spatial correlations of ground motions rely on strong second‐order stationarity assumptions, under which the correlation structure is assumed to be invariant across space, potentially ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Birth of a scapegoat: An actor‐affect‐affordance model of symbolic attribution in the digital age
Political Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract How do scapegoating narratives emerge, diffuse, and solidify within digital media ecosystems? This paper introduces an actor‐affect‐affordance (3A) model to explain how complex social problems become symbolically attributed to marginalized groups.
