Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2132-2150, August 2026.ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2169-2183, August 2026.ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...

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

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3811-3827, August 2026.This paper introduces a novel resilience‐based reward‐penalty scheme (RPS) for electricity grids facing high‐impact, low‐probability (HILP) disasters. By modeling the costs of proactive asset immunization against reactive RPS penalties, our analysis conclusively demonstrates that long‐term investment in grid resilience is the more economically rational

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.The alignment between rockfall deposit surface exposure 10Be ages and Holocene temperature records suggests that major rockfall events occurred episodically in response to climatic fluctuations. We conclude that temperature and its evolution enabled mechanical, chemical or bio‐chemical enhancement of fracture progression.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.We analyze the last six update cycles of the long‐term probabilistic earthquake shaking hazard forecast from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and discuss the changes in hazard estimates from the 1996 to the latest 2023 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous United States.
