Business Strategies and Environmental Transparency in the Brazilian Mining Sector

Business Strategy &Development, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Brazil has experienced severe accidents caused by mining companies. This study aims to analyze the socio‐environmental strategies and environmental transparency practices adopted by the largest Brazilian mining companies following the Mariana and Brumadinho disasters, in light of Legitimacy Theory.

Seismic vulnerability of buildings

, 2018
The monograph summarizes the problem of risk for any type of natural phenomenon, defines each of the terms that intervene in the risk analysis, describes the way in which these terms interact and some of them are particularized for the case of the ...

Seismic resilience design of steel bridge using pushover analysis

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 2617-2622, September 2026.
Abstract Resilience –based design of steel bridge demands analytical approaches capable of capturing inelastic behavior and identifying retrofit needs under seismic loading. Seismic resilience refers to the ability of a structure to withstand, adapt to, and quickly recover from the effects of an earthquake.

Predicting Seismic Intensity Using Machine Learning With Ancillary Data: Evidence From Destructive Earthquakes in China

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
A machine learning framework integrating multisource seismic, social, and geographic data accurately predicts kilometer‐scale seismic intensity, enabling rapid postearthquake damage assessment during data‐scarce “black‐box” periods. ABSTRACT Accurate and rapid assessment of seismic intensity is crucial for postearthquake emergency response.

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

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
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.

Seismic Structural Reliability by Time‐Variant Fragility Functions

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2669-2674, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability of aging structures is often represented in the form of fragility curves that vary with time. On one hand, each of these functions is intended to apply if the earthquake hits at the time the fragility refers to. On the other hand, performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) resources to classical probabilistic ...

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

Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

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.
