Comparison of Seismic Performance Assessment Using Observed or Simulated Ground Motions in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Ground Motion Selection

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

Surface Consistent Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Shillong Plateau, Northeast India: A Probabilistic Approach Using Multiple Source Models and a Logic Tree Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We perform probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in the Shillong Plateau by clubbing the up‐to‐date earthquake data and seismotectonic properties of the study area. Twenty‐one areal seismic sources are delineated based on the updated earthquake catalog, tectonic, and fault plane solutions.

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Designing Orthogonal‐Arc Trajectories for Horizontal Wells to Reduce Drilling Cost in Development of Shale Oil/Gas Reservoirs

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Designing 3‐dimensional (3D) horizontal well trajectories is critical for enhancing drilling efficiency in shale reservoirs. This paper proposes an innovative Orthogonal‐Arc Trajectory (OAT) for 3D horizontal wells, which employs a single constant curvature in the curved section.

Renewable Energies in Kazakhstan: Current Status, Potential, Challenges, and Opportunities

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Kazakhstan has strong renewable energy potential, with wind as the leading resource and solar and other sources offering additional opportunities. Key challenges include limited infrastructure, investment needs, and grid‐related technical issues. Despite these barriers, renewables can boost economic diversification, enhance energy security, create jobs,
