Probabilistic seismic hazard maps for Albania

, 2004
Albania is a Balkan country with high rate of seismicity, and earthquake risk reduction has been an important, on-going socioeconomic concern. We adapt the experience and methods used for Canadian seismic hazard maps to present, for the first time, probabilistic spectral hazard maps for Albania. A revised catalogue of Albanian earthquakes, from 58 A.D.

Major Melting Event on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, Connected With Enhanced Atmospheric Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) in West Antarctica experienced extensive surface melting in January 2016, driven by warm humid air transported from over the Southern Ocean. Few studies have reported increased atmospheric water vapor and turbulent mixing during this event in this region, where the availability of surface measurements is challenging ...

Distributed Lower‐Crustal Flow Beneath the Central Xianshuihe–Xiaojiang Fault System: Reconciling Geodesy and Geology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We use recently compiled GNSS velocities across the Zemuhe‐Daliangshan fault zone, part of the central Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang fault system, to reconcile a long‐standing mismatch between geodetic and geologic slip‐rate estimates. We show that conventional elastic dislocation models yield slip rates and locking depths that conflict with seismic ...

Development of an open-source platform for calculating losses from earthquakes [PDF]

, 2012
Risk analysis has a critical role in the reduction of casualties and damages due to earthquakes. Recognition of this relation has led to a rapid rise in demand for accurate, reliable and flexible risk assessment numerical tools and software.

Record‐Wise Disaggregated Seismic Fragilities for Interconnected Systems

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 743-758, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment studies typically rely on fragility functions/curves to characterize the susceptibility of an asset or a class of assets to damage. These curves are essentially a summarization of responses evaluated on the basis of ground motions with record characteristics and intensities that may or may not be tied to a specific site

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Seismic Site Effects in Owhiro Bay Quarry, Wellington: Field Observations and Numerical Modelling

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Local topography and geology are well known factors affecting the intensity of seismic shaking. We have investigated the seismic site effects at a site of the Owhiro Bay Quarry in Wellington, New Zealand, using instrumental records and numerical models.
