The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Preliminary seismic risk analysis of a data network

open access: yes, 2020
The seismic risk assessment of spatially distributed infrastructures is gaining increasing research attention. Data communication networks, although less investigated than other infrastructures, have large importance for the immediate post-event ...

Ultimate a seismic capacity of high earth-rock dams based on stochastic dynamic analysis

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The randomness of seismic motion significantly affects the dynamic response of dams. The ultimate capacity is a critical factor for the seismic safety of dams, thus during the assessment process the influences of load randomness should be thoroughly ...

Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Probabilistic seismic slope stability assessment of geostructures

open access: yes, 2010
Summarization: Typically, seismic analysis of large-scale geostructures, such as embankments, is performed by means of deterministic pseudostatic slope stability methods, where a safety factor based approach is adopted.

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.
