Multi‐Hazard Shaking‐Tsunami Fatality Risk Estimation for Coastal Communities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2618-2633, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study develops a multi‐hazard fatality risk model for a coastal community (Tofino) on Vancouver Island, Canada, subjected to earthquake‐tsunami threats from the Cascadia subduction megathrust events. The model incorporates variable population distributions and uncertain fatality rate models, in addition to other key model components, such

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2760-2780, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2800-2817, September 2026.ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2880-2896, September 2026.ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.
