Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2203-2224, August 2025.Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) walls coupled with U‐shaped flexural plates (UFPs) have proved to be a low‐damage seismic force‐resisting system (SFRS) due to their self‐centering capability and stable energy dissipation. Global efforts have been made to explore the applicability of PT‐CLT walls as primary SFRSs in mass timber buildings.

Modeling post‐earthquake functional recovery of bridges
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2089-2122, August 2025.Rapid restoration of transportation systems following earthquake disruptions is essential due to its significant impact on commutes, freight transport, and emergency medical response. This study develops a framework to model bridge post‐earthquake functional recovery, which is a critical step in assessing the seismic resilience of transportation ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2278-2310, August 2025.We address two open questions concerning nonlinear soil behavior in a seismic hazard and risk context; (1) which site proxies can be used to predict and map nonlinear site amplification? (2) At which level of ground‐motion intensity should such nonlinear models be considered?

Seismic Hazard and Ground Motion Characterization at the Itoiz Dam (Northern Spain). [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents a new hazard-consistent ground motion characterization of the Itoiz dam site, located in Northern Spain. Firstly, we propose a methodology with different approximation levels to the expected ground motion at the dam site. Secondly, we

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 2123-2149, August 2025.This study conducts the time‐dependent seismic risk assessment of highway bridges in western Canada when subjected to Cascadia subduction earthquakes (CSE) and aftershocks (AS). The performance‐based earthquake engineering framework is extended to assess the expected annual repair cost ratio and annual restoration time of a benchmark bridge class under
