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.

Repeatability and Parasitic Out‐of‐Plane Motion in Controlled Rocking Structures With Cylindrical Columns: Results From Triaxial Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2930-2947, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

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 ...

From One Disaster to Another: Environmental Memory, Automobility, Suburbanisation and the Canterbury Earthquakes 2010–2011

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
Broadly taking up Amitav Ghosh's (2016) comment that when it comes to climate change ‘we seem to learn nothing; our historical imagination is very limited’, this article argues that disregarding environmental memory, and past knowledge to plan a more resilient future, the Canterbury Earthquakes 2010–2011 continued and enabled suburbanisation and an ...

Seismo‐ and Tsunami‐Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances of the 29 July 2025 M8.8 Kamchatka Earthquake Observed by CW‐HF Doppler Sounding Systems and Ionosondes in Taiwan and Japan

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Doppler frequency shifts (DFSs) recorded by continuous wave‐high frequency Doppler sounding systems and ionograms observed by five ionosondes in Taiwan and Japan are used to study three‐dimensionally seismo‐ and tsunami‐traveling ionospheric disturbances (STIDs and TTIDs) triggered by the 29 July 2025 Mw8.8 Kamchatka earthquake.

Seismic Constraints of the 23 November 2025 Hayli Gubbi Eruption Sequence in Afar, Ethiopia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract On 23 November 2025, the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Afar (Ethiopia) erupted in a massive explosion. We present the first seismic characterization using data from 13 regional seismological stations. Seismograms reveal signals consisting of a minute‐long precursor, a main eruptive phase, and secondary events hours later.

Comparative Neuroanatomy of Hydrothermal Vent Shrimps: Ecological Differentiation Among Four Alvinocaridid Species

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 8, August 2026.
Hydrothermal vent shrimps share a conserved brain architecture with enlarged mushroom bodies and terminal medullae, shaped by similar environmental pressures. Despite this similarity, some anatomical features near the brain vary between species, suggesting that some ecological factors, such as microhabitat and trophic strategies, also influence nervous

Probabilistic Seismic Stability Analysis of Pile Reinforced Slope Using Modified Pseudo Dynamic Method Based on Modified Response Surfaces Approach

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A probabilistic analysis framework for the seismic stability of pile‐reinforced slopes is developed by coupling the modified pseudo‐dynamic method with the response surface approach, enabling a more accurate estimation of the factor of safety and failure probability.

Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2132-2150, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular
