Rapid Computation of Seismic Loss Curves for Canadian Buildings Using Tail Approximation Method

GeoHazards
Traditional seismic risk assessments often require specialized expertise and extensive computational time, making probabilistic seismic risk evaluations less accessible to practitioners and decision-makers.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Influence of Site Amplification Approaches in PSRA: Insights From Five Different Cities

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Regional and national seismic hazard models used in probabilistic seismic risk analysis often rely on generalized proxy‐based site terms to account for ground shaking amplification. This can result in coarse representations of site response, which can introduce bias or additional uncertainty in the associated risk results.

Accounting for Biases in the Analysis of Building Damage Data for the 2023 M7.8 Türkiye/Syria Earthquake Sequence

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In the aftermath of a large earthquake, several practical constraints affect the systematic collection of data for assessing building damage. The available data are therefore typically incomplete, frequently missing key information such as the type of construction, age and geographic location.

Collocated Geotechnical and Geophysical Test Dataset at Three Sites in Napier, New Zealand

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Reliable assessment of liquefaction hazard, particularly in the context of groundwater fluctuations associated with hydroclimatic changes and variability between liquefaction assessment methods, necessitates supplementary data and advanced site characterization methods.

Fragility Functions for Plasterboard‐Sheathed Walls in Light Timber‐Framed Residential Houses

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
In New Zealand, plasterboard‐sheathed walls (PSWs) are commonly used as partition walls and seismic bracing walls in low‐rise light timber‐framed (LTF) residential houses. A significant barrier to assessing seismic losses of the LTF residential houses in New Zealand is the lack of fragility functions of these PSWs.

Obscured Rhythms: Using Rhythmanalysis to Understand How Symptoms Associated With Menopause Shape Everyday Experiences of Physical Activity

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 48, Issue 8, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Physical activity (PA) is frequently promoted as a means of managing symptoms associated with the menopause transition (MT), yet little is known of how the embodied, emotional and temporal disruptions of menopause influence the experiences of, and possibilities for, movement.

From Housing to Infrastructure of Racialisation: The Politics of Caste in Smart Housing Interventions in India

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper conceptualises housing as an infrastructure of racialisation in smart cities. With smart urbanism becoming central to urban governance, housing is emerging as a new geography of technological interventions in India. I argue that these interventions are central to the reproduction of unequal power relations and difference in everyday
