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

Superficial simplicity of the 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake of Baja California in Mexico [PDF]

, 2010
The geometry of faults is usually thought to be more complicated at the surface than at depth and to control the initiation, propagation and arrest of seismic ruptures.

Deformation and Earthquake Potential on the North America–Caribbean–Cocos Plate Boundary System in Guatemala

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract In Guatemala, the Cocos, North American, and Caribbean plates interact to create a region of high seismic risk. Previous analyses of crustal faults in the country have been overly simplified, creating discrepancies between geologic and geodetic slip rate models.

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

Exceptionally Elongated Strike‐Slip Rupture Caused by the 2025 MW 7.8 Myanmar Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The interplay between fault geometry and rupture behavior remains poorly understood. The 2025 Myanmar earthquake ruptured the Sagaing fault, a major continental strike‐slip fault with simple geometry. We integrated geodetic and teleseismic observations to investigate its rupture process through finite‐fault kinematic inversions and back ...

Fault Pattern and Seismotectonic Style of the Campania – Lucania 1980 Earthquake (Mw 6.9, Southern Italy): New Multidisciplinary Constraints

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
New fault trace mapping and structural survey of the active faults outcropping within the epicentral area of the Campania-Lucania 1980 normal fault earthquake (Mw 6.9) are integrated with a revision of pre-existing earthquake data and with an updated ...

Seismicity and Seismotectonics of the Western Lake Ontario Region [PDF]

, 1993
The western Lake Ontario region, a traditionally perceived area of low seismic risk, is densely populated and is home to, among other critical facilities, the nuclear reactors of Pickering and Darlington.

Frictional Heterogeneity Governs Slip Partitioning and Seismic Hazard in the 2023 Turkey Earthquake Doublet

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Quantifying fault frictional properties is fundamental to understanding slip behavior and seismic hazard. We analyze 2 years of Sentinel‐1 SAR data following the 2023 Turkey earthquake doublet using Independent Component Analysis‐enhanced Small Baseline Subset‐InSAR, to resolve postseismic deformation and invert for afterslip on the East ...

Ongoing Inversion of a Passive Margin: Spatial Variability of Strain Markers Along the Algerian Margin and Basin (Mediterranean Sea) and Seismotectonic Implications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Subduction initiation is an important but still poorly documented process on Earth. Here, we document one of a few cases of ongoing transition between passive and active continental margins by identifying the geometrical and structural signatures that ...

The 2004 and 2005 Sumatra Earthquakes: Implications for the Lisbon earthquake [PDF]

, 2005
The Sumatra mega-earthquake of 26 December 2004 (Mw=9.3) was the strongest earthquake in the world since the 1964 Alaska earthquake and the fifth strongest since 1900. The earthquake occurred at the interface of the India and Burma plates and triggered a
