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.

Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

The Influence of Fault Rupture Velocity on Ground Motions and Building Demands in the Near‐Fault Region

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
With the recent increases in measured ground motion records for large earthquakes, most notably the 2023 M7.8 Pazarcik earthquake in Türkiye, the potential for pervasive high velocity fault rupture propagation over an extensive fault length has been observed.

Development of Liquefaction‐Targeted Design Basis in U.S. Seismic Provisions

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Seismic design criteria for new buildings in the United States have historically focused on life safety performance objectives through minimizing the potential for structural collapse. Development of design criteria to meet this performance objective has evolved over time, leading to the current, risk‐targeted maximum considered earthquake (MCER ...

Enhancement of Seismic Resilience of Structures With Tuned Mass Damper Inerter by Using Effective Damping Ratio

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study investigates the performance of a tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) in enhancing the seismic performance of structures by focusing on the concept of effective damping ratio (EDR) and its enhancement through the effective damping ratio enhancement (EDRE) approach. An analytical model is developed for a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system subjected
