Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Quantifying Model Selection Uncertainty in Structural Analysis: Methodology and Application
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 1828-1844, 25 July 2026.ABSTRACT With increasing focus on complex engineering systems under rare events, computational models are critical for predictions due to the scarcity or absence of data. However, selecting an appropriate model can be challenging. Using a single model without available test calibration could result in significant bias in performance predictions. A case

Probabilistic seismic safety analysis of multi-component systems
, 2019 The seismic safety of a nuclear power plant (NPP) is assessed based on the reliable functioning of the entire plant. To control the safety functions, the NPP is divided into several systems based on the functional or structural units.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 9, Page 2121-2128, 25 July 2026.ABSTRACT Risk‐based seismic assessments using demand curves that provide mean annual exceedance rates for various system demand levels are increasingly being adopted. Such assessments combine the seismic hazard curve with fragility functions for each demand level, serving as a basis to quantify the average annual losses from system damage. Constructing

Applying the Bow Tie Method to Evaluate Emerging Risk: The Case of Carbon Capture and Water Stress
Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Emerging environmental risks are often shaped not by a lack of knowledge alone, but by fragmented information across systems, disciplines, and levels of governance. This fragmentation limits the ability of local decision‐makers to identify and respond effectively to rapidly developing technologies.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.This study proposes an elastic wave reverse time migration (RTM) method to suppress multiple scattering noise in heterogeneous concrete. By effectively utilizing scattered wavefields, RTM enables high‐precision, robust imaging of sleeve grouting defects in prefabricated buildings, significantly outperforming traditional algorithms.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 7, Page 1514-1532, June 2026.ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too
