Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Analyzing the dependency of earthquake insurance premium on the intensity measure used in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and fragility curves

Ain Shams Engineering Journal
Considering the uncertainties associated with earthquake, seismic response of structures, damage caused by the response and the repair costs, determining Earthquake Insurance Premium (EIP) is a challenging task that requires a framework for modeling all ...

Forecasting ability of a multi-renewal seismicity model for Italy

, 2013
The inter-event time, IET, is sometimes used as a basis for prediction of large earthquakes. It is the case when theoretical analysis of prediction is possible. Quite recently a specific IET- model was suggested for dynamic probabilistic prediction of M >

Regional Adjustments to NGA‐West2 Ground‐Motion Models for Turkey

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1313-1332, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a ground‐motion model updating (GMMU) framework to adjust NGA‐West2 models for predicting a set of intensity measures in Turkey, including peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and pseudo‐spectral acceleration (PSA) at periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 s. The GMMU framework integrates bias identification

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Landslide susceptibility mapping using a machine learning approach and different environmental factors in the Western Ghats region (India)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Landslide susceptibility mapping in India's Western Ghats using machine learning revealed high‐risk zones driven by deforestation, slope alteration and road proximity. The Random Forest model showed highest accuracy, supporting targeted mitigation, planning and early warning systems.

Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Assessing Post‐Earthquake Emergency Healthcare Accessibility Considering Damage to Hospital Buildings and Transportation Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article presents a framework for performing a regional assessment of the accessibility of emergency healthcare facilities after a major earthquake. Accessibility is assessed by applying the enhanced two‐step floating catchment area method to a regional road network, implemented in ArcGIS.
