Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1019-1049, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Modeling the Probability of Tsunami Fire Ignition Based on Data From the 2011 Tohoku and 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquakes, With Recommendations to Reduce Emerging Fire Risk in Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1116-1133, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1157-1175, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

From Hurricane Irma to the Grindavík eruptions: volatility premiums in disaster governance

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Environmental volatility can inflate property values even as it destroys them. To show how, this article pairs a postcolonial micro‐state in the Caribbean (Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma) with a Nordic welfare town (Grindavík in Iceland following volcanic eruptions) because they occupy the opposite ends of the governance capacity spectrum ...

Towards national risk-targeted seismic hazard maps for mainland China

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
The global adoption of risk-targeted hazard models as the basis for seismic design has significantly increased over the past decade. In contrast, the current Chinese National Seismic Design Code relies on a uniform hazard map, which does not ensure ...

Probabilistic enhancement of the Failure Forecast Method using a stochastic differential equation and application to volcanic eruption forecasts

, 2018
We introduce a doubly stochastic method for performing material failure theory based forecasts of volcanic eruptions. The method enhances the well known Failure Forecast Method equation, introducing a new formulation similar to the Hull-White model in ...

Front‐Footed Defense: Leveraging Early Counsel Intervention for Expedited Justice

Law &Policy, Volume 48, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary criminal justice systems have increasingly prioritized efficiency as a key guiding principle in their institutional processes. This research examines the role of defense counsel to analyze whether and how lawyers strategically adapt their advocacy methods as they balance the demands of procedural efficiency with their professional
