We propose that one of the largest known bioconstructions (the Monte Zenone bioherm) in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, and its growth on a tilted and drowned platform block of the Norian Dolomia Principale was controlled by hydrothermal dolomitisation from fault‐controlled fluids during the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic rifting phase.

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

Evaluating the Seismic Damage Dynamics of Buildings’ Vertical Growth in Lima, Peru
In Lima, as in many cities, most residential buildings grow vertically over their lifespan due to incremental construction. Multiple stories are added to buildings, often without structural retrofits or even without design. As a result, the seismic vulnerability of these buildings increases, requiring the government to create resilience policies that ...

Ground‐Motion Aleatory‐Variability Models for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands
I develop independent logic trees for aleatory variability for crustal and subduction‐zone (interface and intraslab) earthquakes for seismic hazards analyses in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI) from existing suites of ground‐motion models (GMMs) and from ground‐motion datasets, including a regional PRVI dataset.

In this study, the inelastic shear amplification and seismic performance of reinforced concrete shear walls (RCSWs) in western North America, designed according to Canadian seismic codes, were evaluated using nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHAs) and performance‐based design guidelines.
