Evaluating the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Shaking Hazard Forecasts and Their Implications on Seismic Risk

open access: yesEarthquake 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.

Nonstationary Spatial Correlation of Earthquake Ground Motions in California

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Assessing seismic risk to spatially distributed infrastructure systems requires realistic representations of spatially correlated ground motions. Existing models for the spatial correlations of ground motions rely on strong second‐order stationarity assumptions, under which the correlation structure is assumed to be invariant across space, potentially ...

Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.
