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.

Seismic retrofitting of unreinforced masonry buildings - a literature review
, 2005 In the last two decades, many seismic retrofitting techniques for masonry structures have been developed and practised, but there are only limited guidelines for practising engineers in Australia. This paper reviews the literature on seismic retrofitting

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 8, Page 1655-1674, 10 July 2026.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.

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.
