Seismic Fragility and Vulnerability of Partially Grouted Flexural‐Controlled Reinforced Masonry Buildings in Colombia

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This paper presents the development of analytical fragility and vulnerability functions for flexure‐controlled partially grouted reinforced masonry (RM) buildings that are representative of Colombian urban areas, with the goal of enhancing national seismic risk assessments.

Quantification of Direct Benefits of Functional Recovery‐Based Design for Seismic Resilience

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
Lessons from recent major earthquakes have shown that current life‐safety‐centered seismic design practice falls short in ensuring a desirable post‐hazard recovery. Extensive economic losses, high demolition rates, and long recovery have signified a gap between design targets and society's expectations of seismic performance of code‐compliant buildings.

The Influence of Fault Rupture Velocity on Ground Motions and Building Demands in the Near‐Fault Region

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
With the recent increases in measured ground motion records for large earthquakes, most notably the 2023 M7.8 Pazarcik earthquake in Türkiye, the potential for pervasive high velocity fault rupture propagation over an extensive fault length has been observed.

Enhancement of Seismic Resilience of Structures With Tuned Mass Damper Inerter by Using Effective Damping Ratio

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
This study investigates the performance of a tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) in enhancing the seismic performance of structures by focusing on the concept of effective damping ratio (EDR) and its enhancement through the effective damping ratio enhancement (EDRE) approach. An analytical model is developed for a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system subjected

Effects of Aquatic‐Based vs Land‐Based Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises on Pain, Functional Performance, Knee Proprioception, Muscle Strength, and Kinesiophobia in Women Aged 40–70 Years With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a progressive degenerative disease causing pain, muscle weakness, and functional decline, particularly in postmenopausal women. While closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises are effective for rehabilitation, the comparative efficacy of aquatic‐ versus land‐based environments for these exercises ...
