Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2449-2465, August 2026.ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

Seismic Meta‐Fragility Functions
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2504-2510, August 2026.ABSTRACT Fragility functions make for one of the three key components of probabilistic seismic risk analysis, along with hazard and consequence and/or exposure models. They are, in principle, construction‐specific; however, risk analysis is more often performed on a larger (e.g., regional) scale. In this case, so‐called typological fragility curves are

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 ...
