From Hurricane Irma to the Grindavík eruptions: volatility premiums in disaster governance
Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Environmental volatility can inflate property values even as it destroys them. To show how, this article pairs a postcolonial micro‐state in the Caribbean (Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma) with a Nordic welfare town (Grindavík in Iceland following volcanic eruptions) because they occupy the opposite ends of the governance capacity spectrum ...

Parametric study of the seismic vulnerability of steel structures and their vulnerability curves
Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2020 The use of metal structures is increasingly used. This is due to the fact that these structures are quick to erect (saving time and money) and make it possible to obtain interesting technical characteristics (spans and heights).

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Record‐Wise Disaggregated Seismic Fragilities for Interconnected Systems
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 743-758, March 2026.ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment studies typically rely on fragility functions/curves to characterize the susceptibility of an asset or a class of assets to damage. These curves are essentially a summarization of responses evaluated on the basis of ground motions with record characteristics and intensities that may or may not be tied to a specific site
