Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

A computer program for bridge retrofitting [PDF]
, 1997 This paper summarizes the work developed in order to establish a framework for seismic retrofitting of bridges. In this context, the first objetive is to find a numerical model to evaluate the damage induced in a structure, under seismic action, as an ...

Record‐Wise Disaggregated Seismic Fragilities for Interconnected Systems
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 743-758, March 2026.ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment studies typically rely on fragility functions/curves to characterize the susceptibility of an asset or a class of assets to damage. These curves are essentially a summarization of responses evaluated on the basis of ground motions with record characteristics and intensities that may or may not be tied to a specific site

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Aim This study examined temporal changes in patterns of clinically treated psychiatric conditions during the first year after the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. Although post‐disaster psychiatric symptoms often peak within the first year, prior studies have frequently lacked standardized phase definitions.

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods, continue to pose significant threats to the urban society, resulting in human casualties, structural damage and economic losses. The impact of these extreme events is exacerbated by urbanization, infrastructural development and populational growth, emphasizing the demands for effective ...

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,
