Beyond Risk Reduction: Leveraging Multiple Resilience Dividend Concept for Transformative Adaptation Planning

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
This paper presents a framework for Multiple Resilience Dividends (MRD) that proposes shift climate change adaptation from a narrow risk‐focused perspective to a broader, multi‐objective systems approach. By recognizing the diverse range of benefits that adaptation measures can provide, practitioners can go beyond merely avoiding losses.

Direction‐Aware Period Prediction for Seismic Risk Assessment and Application to an Urban Tall Building Portfolio in China

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 15, Page 4113-4136, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...

A Two‐Way Coupled Simulation Framework for the Prediction of Fire‐Induced Damage and Smoke Propagation in a Building

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The contribution is concerned with a fully coupled simulation methodology for fire‐induced damage in concrete structures. Fire events in buildings not only generate high temperatures and the spreading of smoke gases but also induce significant structural damages of the concrete structure.

Sparsity‐Driven Source Localization in Tomographic Sensing Applications

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Hyperspectral standoff detection systems such as Focal Plane Array (FPA) Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers provide high spatial resolution in detecting airborne chemical contaminants that are invisible to the human eye but potentially hazardous. When two such systems are operated simultaneously with a suitable opening angle, they

Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review

Safety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.

Explainable Machine Learning for Predicting Time‐to‐Failure of Horizontal Pressurized Storage Tanks in Fire Scenarios

Safety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
An interpretable machine learning framework with SHAP analysis achieves accurate time‐to‐failure prediction for horizontal pressurized tanks under pool fires while identifying fire intensity, filling level, and wall thickness as dominant drivers of model explanation and uncertainty explanation, providing transparent and actionable insights for ...
