Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1157-1175, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Seismic vulnerability analysis of wide-beam buildings in Spain

open access: yes, 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 ...

A seismic vulnerability analysis procedure for urban loss assessment

open access: yes, 2020
The assessment of seismic vulnerability of buildings in seismically active urban areas is of great importance in terms of engineering, economical and social aspects. In this study an analytical procedure has been developed in order to obtain the vulnerability functions of existing buildings.

Deep Quake Dynamics: A Multimodal Fault‐Aware Approach to Earthquake Magnitude and Occurrence Time Forecasting

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
EQMT integrates earthquake catalog data, fault‐network geometry, engineered features, and graph embeddings in a unified framework for forecasting earthquake magnitude and occurrence time. The framework is designed to reflect inter‐fault spatial dependencies together with temporal seismic patterns, addressing limitations of approaches based only on ...

Seismic Risk Analysis of Revenue Losses, Gross Regional Product and transportation systems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Natural threats like earthquakes, hurricanes or tsunamis have shown seri- ous impacts on communities. In the past, major earthquakes in the United States like Loma Prieta 1989, Northridge 1994, or recent events in Italy like L’Aquila 2009 or Emilia 2012 ...

Landslide Activity in the European Alps ‐ Part 1: A Machine Learning Based Instrumental Catalog From the Analysis of Seismological Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Landslides in the European Alps are a growing concern in the context of climate change. However, landslide catalogs for the European Alps remain incomplete, often lacking precise timing and containing few, if any, entries for remote areas.

Seismic vulnerability assessment of existing masonry buildings: case study of the old city centre of Faro, Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The seismic vulnerability and risk assessment of old city centre areas is truly essential in urban rehabilitation programs and should not be focused exclusively over recognized historical and patrimonial valuable buildings but also in relation to current

Twenty‐Three Years of Landslide Activity in the European Alps–Part 2: Investigating Triggers and the Impacts of Meteorological Change on Landslide Occurrences

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Landslides represent one of the most devastating natural hazards in mountainous regions, posing significant threats to human safety, infrastructure and ecosystems. It is well established that there is a connection between meteorological factors and landslide occurrences but the mechanisms of these interactions and the impacts of climatic ...

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Regular and Vertically Irregular Residential Buildings in Nepal

open access: yesJournal of the Civil Engineering Forum
The need to assess the vulnerability of non-engineered residential RCC buildings in Nepal has become urgent, especially considering the ongoing modifications and additions to these structures without understanding their susceptibility to seismic events.
