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

Partitioning Site Amplification and κ0 in Earthquake Recordings

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study explores site amplification and spectral decay (κ0) estimates, focusing on the challenge of separating the two in observed Fourier amplitude spectra (FAS). We apply two general approaches: a Bayesian broadband inversion for simultaneous estimation of site amplification and κ0, and slope‐based methods for direct κ0 estimation from the ...

From Observed Damage to Executable Repair Quantities: The RELA Repair Module

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Postearthquake workflows currently support three distinct classes of decisions: safety clearance through rapid tagging, portfolio‐level economic damage estimation through probabilistic loss models, and field inspections based on locally defined survey forms, which may subsequently trigger project‐specific strengthening through retrofit design. However,

A Bayesian Framework for Empirical Estimation of Post‐Earthquake Building Inspection Time

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Building safety inspections can be an impeding determinant of post‐earthquake recovery, yet their durations remain inadequately quantified because fine‐grained operational data are rarely available. Here, we present a probabilistic Bayesian framework to quantify building‐level inspection time, calibrated against a comprehensive multiagency dataset from
