Toxic Fear: Climate, Contamination, and Worries about Future Flooding in Coastal Industrial Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractTropical storms and flooding can compromise industrial infrastructures and other land-based hazards in ways that contaminate nearby communities. This study uses novel data from the Houston Area Survey to investigate ... -
Research on a Preliminary Assessment Model of Seismic Disaster Risks for Bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractBridges, as critical nodes in transportation systems, are essential for postearthquake emergency response and recovery. Although existing models (such as the Zhu Meizhen empirical model and dynamic analysis methods) ... -
Socioeconomic Vulnerability to Natural Hazards: A Case Study of Oslo, Norway
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractSocioeconomic vulnerability analysis evaluates the extent to which a community or region is susceptible to the adverse impacts of natural disasters, considering the specific social and economic characteristics of ... -
Effect of Asymmetric Infills on Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractUnreinforced masonry (URM) infills are widely used as partitions in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The torsion due to asymmetric placement of infills is often unnoticed because the stiffness and strength of ... -
Using Narrative Persuasion and Framing to Promote Typhoon Preparedness: Social Distance, Risk Perception, and Social Norms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThis study examines the effects of narrative persuasion and message framing (gain- versus loss-framing) on individuals’ perceived social distance, risk perception, and disaster preparedness in the context of typhoon ... -
The Post-Alert Lexicon: A Multiphased Study to Develop Content for Post-Alert Messages
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractUsing a multiphased, mixed methods approach, grounded in theory on alerts and warnings, the Post-Alert Lexicon serves as a companion to the Warning Lexicon to provide evidence-based guidance on how to construct a ... -
Self-Organization Response in a Crisis: A Case Study of a Shanghai Community during COVID-19 in 2022
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study examines how self-organizing groups function during crisis response in China’s centralized system. Through case analysis of a Shanghai community during COVID-19, we investigate how emergent citizen groups ... -
Spatial Distribution of Building Stock in Mainland China: A New Perspective from Multiscale Regional Classification
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractUnderstanding the spatiotemporal distribution of China’s building stock is crucial for effective seismic risk management. Existing studies, however, often overlook significant regional variations in building ... -
Predicting Peak Discharge of Outburst Floods from Moraine-Dammed Glacial Lakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractMoraine-dammed lakes, formed by glacial deposits such as boulders, gravel, sand, and clay, are highly prone to catastrophic failure, causing glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) that threaten downstream communities ... -
Assessment of Long-Term Residential Satisfaction of Postdisaster Resettled Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractMillions of people are displaced globally due to natural hazards, conflicts, and development projects, necessitating resettlement processes that often fail to meet long-term community needs. This study aims to ... -
Soil Failure Mechanisms and End-Bearing Factors of Dynamically Conical Penetrometers in Clay: LDFE-Based Insights
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Dynamically conical penetrometers, such as free-fall penetrometers (FFPs) and dynamically installed anchors (DIAs), are promising solutions for offshore site investigation and anchoring in clay. However, the ... -
Disaster Damage as a Driver of Climate Resilience Policy Support
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe 2021 Marshall Fire, the most destructive wildfire in Colorado’s history, destroyed over 1,000 homes and damaged many others in the communities of Louisville, Superior, and unincorporated Boulder County. This ... -
Coastal Road Resilience in Nile Delta, Egypt: A Comprehensive Multihazard Risk Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThe coastal region of the Nile Delta in Egypt is highly susceptible to various natural hazards and climate change, posing significant threats to its transportation infrastructure. Existing risk mapping approaches ... -
Impact of Countermeasures against Galloping Wind Instability Using Variously Shaped Bridge Decks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractCyclones, distinguished by their extreme wind hazards, are among the most severe natural phenomena, causing extensive destruction across large geographical areas where they occur. The impact of cyclones is particularly ... -
Social Computing for Post-Earthquake Vulnerability and Resilience Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractSocial media offers significant potential to transform disaster communication and, in turn, enhance community resilience to seismic events. This study integrates social media sentiment with hazard data, damage ... -
Behavioral Economic Analysis of Framing Effects on Residential Safe Room Demand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractTornadoes cause widespread financial and infrastructural damages and pose a hazard to human well-being. Much of the US Midwest and Southeast endure tornadic events and potentially tornadic storms annually, yet ... -
