Validation of Physics‐Based Simulated Accelerograms for Seismic Fragility Analyses of Italian RC Existing Building Types

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This article aims at exploring and validating the use of 3D physics‐based simulated ground motions as seismic input for the derivation of seismic fragility curves based on nonlinear dynamic numerical analyses. Fragility curves are computed for a set of pre‐code (i.e., designed only for vertical loads), reinforced concrete building types representative ...

Experimental Dataset From Full‐Scale Near‐Collapse Tests on Two‐Storey, Two‐Bay Masonry‐Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames With Timber‐Based Reinforced Concrete‐Timber Panel Seismic Retrofit

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

From Warnings to Actions: Factors Influencing Response to Earthquake Early Warning—A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems offer critical seconds for protective actions, yet their effectiveness ultimately depends on human interpretation and response. This article presents a systematic literature review of factors shaping public behavior during earthquakes and in response to EEW alerts.

Near‐Source Ground Motion From Normal Faults: Insights From the Physics‐Based Numerical Simulations of the 1980 Irpinia Earthquake, Southern Italy

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
In this paper, the physics‐based numerical simulation of the strongest instrumental earthquake in the recent seismic history of Italy, i.e., the Nov 23, 1980 Irpinia earthquake in Southern Italy, with magnitude MW 6.8, is presented and discussed. A 3D spectral element model covering an extended region (147 × 110 km2) was constructed, with a frequency ...

Policy Responses to the COVID‐19 Pandemic in High‐Income Countries and the Associated Maternal‐Infant Health Outcomes: A Systematic Literature and Policy Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Foreseeing how policy impacts pregnant women and infants is limited by ethical challenges of experimental research within these groups. The COVID‐19 pandemic generated natural experiments, offering rare opportunities to explore associations between specific policy responses and maternal‐infant health outcomes.
