Opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Seismic Hazard Model to Improve Seismic Risk Assessment of Critical Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Assessing Post‐Earthquake Emergency Healthcare Accessibility Considering Damage to Hospital Buildings and Transportation Infrastructure

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article presents a framework for performing a regional assessment of the accessibility of emergency healthcare facilities after a major earthquake. Accessibility is assessed by applying the enhanced two‐step floating catchment area method to a regional road network, implemented in ArcGIS.

SIMPLIFIED SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF MASONRY ARCH BRIDGES

, 2014
This study concerns seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry arch bridges with common typologies in Europe. Bridges are, in most cases, the most vulnerable elements in the transportation network during an earthquake; therefore, their seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary for a proper planning of the emergency phase and to define a priority ...

User Acceptance and Perceptions of Earthquake Early Warning Systems as a Function of Information Type: The Case of Postearthquake Nepal

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
What drives user perceptions and acceptance of earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) as an emerging technology? Do distinct types of transparency into EEWS affect users’ perceptions of the system's usefulness and desirability differently? To address these questions, we focus on Nepal, an earthquake‐prone country with no active public EEWS ...

Achieving Functionality Targets for Seismically Isolated Steel Buildings Using Gaussian Process Modeling

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
As seismic design paradigms shift toward functional recovery, there is a need for efficient methods to achieve desired decision variables (DVs), such as probability of replacement, repair cost, and downtime of the building, for seismically isolated buildings.

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 947-967, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1019-1049, 25 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Seismic Resilience and Post-Earthquake Sustainability Evaluation of Long-Span Deck-Type Reinforced Concrete Arch Bridges

Buildings
To evaluate the seismic resilience and post-earthquake sustainability of long-span deck-type reinforced concrete arch bridges, this paper constructs a seismic resilience assessment framework based on seismic vulnerability theory, utilizing post ...

Sobre cómo representar y parametrizar la Peligrosidad, la Vulnerabilidad y el Daño para transmitir los resultados de un estudio de riesgo sísmico a escala regional/ On the representation and parameterization of Seismic Hazard, Vulnerability and Damag [PDF]

, 2008
This work presents different issues related to seismic risk assessment and styles of comunicating partial and final results on maps for remarkably distinct people, such as scientists, preparedness and response officers and general public. The convenience
