Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

Earthquake Ground Motion Cycle Count Datasets
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.This study presents a comprehensive set of earthquake ground motion cycle count datasets derived from the NGA‐West2 and NGA‐Sub databases. We applied peak counting, mean‐crossing, level‐crossing, and rainflow cycle counting methods to over 275,000 acceleration time series.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.Reliable assessment of liquefaction hazard, particularly in the context of groundwater fluctuations associated with hydroclimatic changes and variability between liquefaction assessment methods, necessitates supplementary data and advanced site characterization methods.

Lung‐Cardiovascular Interactions and Derangements in ARDS
Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 5, October 2026.This review proposes an anatomical near‐ and far‐field framework for lung‐cardiovascular interactions in ARDS. Grounded in pathological and biological studies, the evidence spans pulmonary vascular, right ventricular, and systemic endothelial derangements and reviews available evidence for targeted therapies.
