Distinguishing Single and Linked Ruptures in the Laboratory and Nature

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Earthquakes can grow either monotonically from a single, stressed patch or through linking multiple stressed regions. The distinction has implications for magnitude predictability with single ruptures requiring knowledge of the local stress state, while linked ruptures require knowing the global stress and energy distribution.

Unified Hysteresis Modeling via Physics‐Based Deep Learning and Data Augmentation

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 379-396, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Deep learning‐based models have recently emerged as alternatives to traditional form‐constrained hysteresis models, including Bouc‐Wen class models, offering significant potential for unified hysteresis modeling to capture complex nonlinearities and diverse response patterns exhibited under stochastic excitations such as ground motions.

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 336-349, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Tsunami Casualty Risk Assessment Integrating Evacuation Tower Placement, Seismic Road Network Performance Enhancement, and Disaster Education

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Semi‐Active Movable Shear Keys for Seismic Response Control of Bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 483-499, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The size of the joint gaps plays a significant role in the dynamic performance of bridges. This has recently motivated the consideration of movable shear keys (MSKs), pioneered by the corresponding author, to enhance bridge performance by changing the bridge support/boundary conditions.
