Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3302-3318, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very soft soils, ground‐motion ...

Surrogate‐Based Time‐Continuous Seismic Fragility Assessment of Corrosion‐Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Climate Change

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3338-3362, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

Deep Network Reparameterized Full‐Waveform Inversion From Sequential to Simultaneous Sources With Adjoint‐State Method

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Full‐waveform inversion (FWI) relies on sequential‐source (SQ) workflows for high imaging precision, while simultaneous‐source (SML) encoding drastically accelerates computation but introduces irreversible wavenumber discontinuity artifacts in hybrid‐domain implementations.

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

1D Basin Modelling of Upper Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Source Rocks in the Southern Pletmos Sub‐Basin, Outeniqua Basin, Offshore South Africa

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1382-1411, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pletmos sub‐basin in the Outeniqua Basin, offshore South Africa, is divided by the Superior, Pletmos and Plettenberg faults into northern and southern depocentres. In this study, geological and organic geochemical data together with 1D basin modelling were used to investigate the burial, thermal and maturation histories, and the timing of ...

Dam Management in the Era of Climate Change

Mathematical Finance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 870-895, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has a dramatic impact, particularly by concentrating rainfall into a few short periods, interspersed with long dry spells. In this context, the role of dams is crucial. We consider the optimal control of a dam, where the water level must neither exceed a designated safety threshold nor fall below a minimum level to ensure ...
