Design Internal Forces of Non‐Dissipative Members in CBFs With Regular and Irregular Brace Configurations

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 14, Page 3443-3465, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Steel Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are widely used in seismic regions, with chevron and split‐X configurations commonly adopted for their structural efficiency and architectural flexibility. Although extensive research has been carried out on these systems, the effectiveness of the formulations available in the literature for estimating

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

CyberShake NZ: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis in New Zealand Using Physics‐Based Ground‐Motion Simulations

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
This study presents the computational components and workflow developed to conduct probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in New Zealand (NZ) using physics‐based ground‐motion simulations, referred to as “CyberShake NZ.” Semi‐automated procedures generate multiple realizations of kinematic rupture models, create rupture‐specific velocity models ...

Collocated Geotechnical and Geophysical Test Dataset at Three Sites in Napier, New Zealand

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Reliable assessment of liquefaction hazard, particularly in the context of groundwater fluctuations associated with hydroclimatic changes and variability between liquefaction assessment methods, necessitates supplementary data and advanced site characterization methods.

Long‐Term Earthquake Response in a Midrise Reinforced Concrete Building: Insights From Hybrid Seismic Monitoring

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
We present a multidecadal analysis of the seismic response of a midrise reinforced concrete (RC) building in Taipei, Taiwan, combining legacy strong‐motion accelerograph (SMA‐1) data with recent recordings from a dense array of low‐cost microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)‐based Quake Structural Integrity System (QSIS) sensors.

Heightened threats to small woodland caribou populations in Canada and key considerations for their persistence Menaces pesant sur les petites populations de caribou des bois au Canada et considérations essentielles à leur rétablissement

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 227, Issue 1, November 2026.
Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...

A New Amphibious Earthquake Catalog for the Alaska Peninsula: Training, Testing, and Applying Machine Learning Earthquake Picking in Offshore and Amphibious Environments

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract The dual seismological developments of large‐scale offshore observational networks and high‐quality machine‐learning earthquake detection and picking allow unprecedented seismicity detection in high hazard subduction zones. We develop a high resolution machine learning enhanced seismicity catalog for the Alaska Peninsula stretch of the Alaska ...
