Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1828-1844, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Deaggregation of probabilistic ground motions in the Kota Kinabalu and Lahad Datu towns of Sabah, Malaysia

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Sabah has witnessed an increase in low to moderate seismic activities due to a few active fault lines. According to the historical records ranging between 1900 and 2017, the region already experienced a devastating earthquake with a size MW 5.8 in Lahad ...

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1887-1904, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Development of Seismic Demand for Chang-Bin Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan Strait

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
Taiwan is located on the Pacific seismic belt, and the soil conditions of Taiwan’s offshore wind farms are softer than those in Europe. To ensure safety and stability of the offshore wind turbine supporting structures, it is important to assess the ...

A Multivariate Mixed‐Effects Regression Framework for Ground Motion Modeling: Integrating Parametric and Machine Learning Approaches

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1811-1827, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Multivariate ground motion models (GMMs) that capture the correlation between different intensity measures (IMs) are essential for seismic risk assessment. Conventional GMMs are often developed using a two‐stage approach, where separate univariate models with predefined functional forms are fitted first, and correlation is addressed in a ...

New assessment of the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for the greater Jakarta area, Indonesia

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2023
The greater Jakarta area is located in west Java and has a high earthquake risk due to the subduction of the Australian Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. Previous hazard studies have been carried out using various seismic probability approaches.

Subduction Parameters Controlling the Occurrence of Shallow and Deep Slow‐Slip Events (SSEs)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Slow‐slip events (SSEs) are transient aseismic fault‐slip phenomena that release tectonic stresses in a variety of tectonic environments, including subduction zones. In subduction margins, SSEs commonly occur along the plate interface at shallow (<20 km) and deep (30–60 km) depths.

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

open access: yesEarthquake 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

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

open access: yesEarthquake 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

2025 U.S. Geological Survey National Seismic Hazard Model for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: Overview of Model and Hazard Results

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
The U.S. Geological Survey recently updated the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI). The first version of the PRVI NSHM was released in 2003, and therefore this 2025 update includes over 20 years of new geologic, geophysical, and engineering data, methods, and models.
