Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Assessing Post‐Earthquake Emergency Healthcare Accessibility Considering Damage to Hospital Buildings and Transportation Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article presents a framework for performing a regional assessment of the accessibility of emergency healthcare facilities after a major earthquake. Accessibility is assessed by applying the enhanced two‐step floating catchment area method to a regional road network, implemented in ArcGIS.

Achieving Functionality Targets for Seismically Isolated Steel Buildings Using Gaussian Process Modeling

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.

Rapid City‐Scale Earthquake Assessment by Combining Numerical Simulation and Sparse Sensing

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study proposes a framework to assess the seismic risk by integrating city‐scale numerical simulations with sensor data prediction. The study begins with advanced numerical simulations using two primary methods: the integrated earthquake simulator (IES) and the stochastic Green's function method.
