Wavelet‐Based Hurst Exponent Estimation

WIREs Computational Statistics, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
The review explores how wavelet‐based methods for estimating the Hurst parameters have developed from their theoretical roots to real‐world applications in fields like biology, engineering, and telecommunications. The review aims to highlight key techniques, compare their strengths and limitations, and point out challenges that still need to be ...

Evaluating the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Shaking Hazard Forecasts and Their Implications on Seismic Risk

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
We analyze the last six update cycles of the long‐term probabilistic earthquake shaking hazard forecast from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and discuss the changes in hazard estimates from the 1996 to the latest 2023 update of the National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) for the conterminous United States.

Seismic Fragility and Vulnerability of Partially Grouted Flexural‐Controlled Reinforced Masonry Buildings in Colombia

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This paper presents the development of analytical fragility and vulnerability functions for flexure‐controlled partially grouted reinforced masonry (RM) buildings that are representative of Colombian urban areas, with the goal of enhancing national seismic risk assessments.

Development of Full‐Scale Experiment‐Based Seismic Fragility Functions for Code‐Compliant Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Fire sprinkler systems are critical for fire safety, but their functionality can be impaired by seismic damage. This study develops new seismic fragility functions for acceleration‐sensitive damage requiring monitoring, maintenance, and repair in code‐compliant fire sprinkler piping systems, using experimental data from full‐scale experimental tests ...

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.
