Seismic vulnerability analysis of wide-beam buildings in Spain

, 2012
A number of short-to-mid height RC buildings with wide beams have been constructed in moderate-seismicity areas of Spain. The seismic behavior in the direction of the wide beams appears to be deficient because of low lateral strength, low ductility of the wide beams, big strut compressive forces inside the column-beam connections, and unreliable ...

Interpreting Non‐Linear Compaction Mechanics of Expansive Soils Using Reliability Calibrated Framework

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study introduces a reliability‐calibrated machine learning framework to predict the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of heterogeneous soils. By integrating 15 algorithms with conformal prediction, the models deliver accurate compaction estimates alongside rigorous, distribution‐free 90% confidence intervals.

Cross‐Entropy of Power Spectral Density Function: A Modal Identification Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3012-3028, 10 October 2026.
ABSTRACT The power spectral density (PSD) function of measured structural response contains a significant amount of information, including the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios). Output‐only system identification or modal identification technique can be used for extracting such modal parameters from the measured response or its ...

Learning Rocking Dynamics From Sparse Shake‐Table Data With Interpretable Physics‐Informed Neural Networks

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3115-3136, 10 October 2026.
ABSTRACT We present a hybrid interpretable Physics‐Informed Neural Network Long‐Short Term Memory (Hybrid PINN LSTM) framework for predicting the seismic response of rocking blocks. Existing analytical models rely on uncertain idealizations, while purely data‐driven and machine‐learning approaches lack physical consistency and interpretability.

From a Probabilistic PBEE Framework to Risk‐Targeted Structural Design With Cascading Hazards: Engineering Application for Seismic–Radiological Safety

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3098-3114, 10 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Earthquake‐induced damage of structures can trigger cascading hazards, linking structural performance to nonstructural consequences. In current engineering practice, these two aspects are typically addressed separately, limiting the ability to account for such coupled effects in design.

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3264-3284, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

Climate Driven Water Table Changes and Their Influence on Liquefaction Response of Integral Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3285-3301, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Integral abutment bridges (IABs) eliminate bearings and joints but transfer seismic demand directly into the surrounding soil, making their response highly sensitive to groundwater conditions and soil–structure interaction. This study presents a 60 g centrifuge testing programme on single‐span IABs designed to isolate the influence of water ...

Surrogate‐Based Time‐Continuous Seismic Fragility Assessment of Corrosion‐Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Climate Change

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3338-3362, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 8018-8057, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.
