Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Free‐Standing Square Rocking Column

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1710-1727, 10 July 2026.
ABSTRACT A three‐dimensional analytical two‐degree‐of‐freedom (2DOF) model is developed to describe the bounded rocking response of free‐standing rigid square columns subjected to bidirectional seismic excitation. The formulation extends Housner's classical planar theory by deriving the full three‐dimensional equations of motion for a column ...

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1828-1844, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Stochastic Response of Composite Post Insulators under Seismic Excitation

Buildings
Composite post insulators are crucial facilities in substations and are prone to significant damage during seismic disasters. However, existing research lacks seismic motion models suitable for power facilities and rarely involves stochastic models ...

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1887-1904, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Seismic behaviour of the curved bridge with friction pendulum system

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
The friction pendulum system (FPS) is a crucial tool for seismic protection. However, effectiveness in curved bridges, especially controlling torsional moments (TMs), has not been thoroughly assessed.

Finite Element Modelling of Rocking and Hybrid Precast Walls under Seismic Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1924-1941, 25 July 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, self‐centring systems have received considerable research interest in the seismic design of precast concrete structures for their ability to limit damage and satisfy resilience requirements. Rocking and hybrid structural walls, characterised by the formation of a single gap at the wall–foundation interface, mitigate damage by ...

Multiphysics Monitoring of Capillary, Electrical, and Elastic Responses During Drainage and Imbibition at Reservoir Conditions

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Capillary pressure‐saturation relationships are crucial for geo‐energy recovery, and increasingly, for environmental applications. However, for reservoir‐relevant pressure and temperature conditions, only limited data sets are available from special core analysis in laboratory (SCAL) studies.

Behind the Curtain: COVID‐19 as a Lens to Precarity in Museum Labor

Curator: The Museum Journal, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 323-331, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Using in‐depth interviews with emerging and early professional museum workers in New Orleans, Louisiana, this article expands on scholarship around the perceived and actual value of nonprofit labor. It adds qualitative support to the argument that museum labor is real labor—open to exploitation and abuse while constantly negotiated internally ...

A Tale of Two Conditions: 50 Years of Chronic Illness and Cancer From a Nursing Perspective

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 82, Issue S2, Page S234-S240, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction In this commentary, I consider the disparity between the care we see as a necessity for cancer patients and the lack of care we afford to many persons with chronic disease. Background I ground my arguments in my own clinical practice and research experiences over a 50‐year period augmented by reference to available literature ...
