Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

A Chemo‐Mechanically Fully Coupled Multiphase‐Field Model for Multicomponent Systems Accounting for Balance Equations on Singular Surfaces

PAMM, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemo‐mechanically coupled phenomena such as stress‐driven diffusion and diffusion‐induced stresses are of high interest, for example, in battery materials and metals. In this work, a chemo‐mechanically fully coupled multiphase‐field model for a multicomponent system is derived and validated with a sharp interface solution. Ensuring mechanical

Seismic Waves Do Sense Fracture Connectivity: Experimental Validation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Fracture connectivity is a key parameter controlling fluid flow throughout the Earth's crust. While some theoretical and numerical studies suggest that seismic waves are sensitive to fracture connectivity, an experimental validation of this critically important phenomenon was so far unavailable.

Weather and Climate Extremes: Simplex, Dynamical Systems and Hull Clustering

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract A novel method is developed and applied to identify high‐dimensional weather and climate extremes located on the envelope of the data set within its state space. The method is based on formulating and integrating dynamical systems whose attractive set, that is, stable fixed points, is constituted of extreme states residing on the convex hull ...

The Role of Normal Stress and Shear Stress Heterogeneity in the Inferred Depth‐Independence of Stress Drop

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Earthquake stress drops are inferred to be independent of source depth, contradicting linear scaling predictions for earthquakes as frictional stick‐slip instabilities that assume increasing fault normal stress due to overburden. Here, we examine the scaling between averaged stress drops and increasing normal stress for simulated earthquake ...
