Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.We analyze the last six update cycles of the long‐term probabilistic earthquake shaking hazard forecast from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and discuss the changes in hazard estimates from the 1996 to the latest 2023 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous United States.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract We investigate the structure and tectonic environment in the crust and upper mantle beneath the North China Craton (NCC) by conducting a full‐waveform inversion of teleseismic P and its coda waves from densely distributed broadband seismic stations. A high‐resolution model involving P‐ and S‐wave velocities as well as density is constructed by

Seismic Fragility Models for Unbraced Steel Pallet Racks
Recent Italian earthquakes revealed the significant seismic vulnerability of industrial pallet racks designed for gravity loads only. Nevertheless, these structures remain the most common industrial storage system. Therefore, this study aims to determine

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.
