Appearance Inspection‐Based Typical Damage Investigation of Concrete Curved Girder‐Type Bridges Subjected to Temperature and Vehicle Effect

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Technical approach of the article. ABSTRACT This study focuses primarily on concrete curved girder‐type bridges, which are commonly used for urban roads and highways. Over the last two decades, practical experience in bridge engineering has shown that these bridges have unique mechanical and damage characteristics, unlike conventional straight bridges.

Low‐Cost Friction‐Based Force‐Limiting Connection With Reduced Sensitivity to Machining Tolerances and Accelerated Repairability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1270-1291, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel yet practical friction‐based structural component design for low‐damage earthquake‐resistant structures. The proposed connection design is based on a conventional slotted‐bolted configuration with the novelty being the use of loose steel washer plates to establish the friction‐sliding interface.

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Vertical‐Component Seismic Response and System Identification of a 52‐Story High‐Rise Building Using Earthquake Data

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Feral Territories: The Suburbanization of Nature in Eastern Bangkok

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Between the 1960s and 1980s, American and international financial and technical assistance spurred men with means to bring together concrete, asphalt, timber, and steel to construct unplanned, poorly serviced (because they were unplanned), and expensive subdivisions at the outskirts of what was then central Bangkok.
