Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Throw rates of active faults are expected to scale with fault length because the geometric moment of a fault is directly related to its dimensions. However, empirical data sets commonly display substantial scatter, which limits the use of fault scaling relationships for seismic hazard assessment and for understanding the mechanics of ...

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

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 ...

Near-Field PSHA with Directivity – Dorud
Annals of GeophysicsThis study investigates the probabilistic seismic hazard in Dorud city, located near the active Dorud fault, with a specific focus on incorporating near-field and rupture directivity effects into the hazard modeling framework. Near-field ground motions – particularly those influenced by rupture directivity – can generate long-period velocity pulses ...

Disaggregation of Landslide Risk
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Quantifying and disaggregating landslide risk through probabilistic landslide risk analysis (PLRA) is critical for land use regulation and risk reduction. However, no transferable model for PLRA currently exists that resolves landslide consequences to individual buildings at regional scales.

Composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering [PDF]
, 2006 Biomaterial and scaffold development underpins the advancement of tissue engineering. Traditional scaffolds based on biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) are weak and non-osteoconductive. For bone tissue

Record‐Wise Disaggregated Seismic Fragilities for Interconnected Systems
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 743-758, March 2026.ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment studies typically rely on fragility functions/curves to characterize the susceptibility of an asset or a class of assets to damage. These curves are essentially a summarization of responses evaluated on the basis of ground motions with record characteristics and intensities that may or may not be tied to a specific site

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) is the most common tool used to decide on the acceptable seismic risk and corresponding mitigation measures. One key component of these studies is the earthquake generation model comprising the definition of
