Research on Scenario Evolution and Emergency Decision-Making Analysis for Earthquake Disaster Chain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractEarthquake disasters can not only trigger secondary disasters such as geological disasters and fires, but also lead to a series of derivative consequences such as traffic interruptions, building collapses, and the ... -
Negative Soil Arching Effect Caused by the Floating of Rectangular and Circular Tunnels and the Calculation of Overlying Earth Pressure Distribution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract Determining the variation of earth pressure around a tunnel is crucial for its structural safety. This paper adopts the FEM to investigate the negative soil arching effect caused by the floating of a rectangular ... -
Methodology for Assessing Accident Chains Initiated by Natural Disasters in Cities Based on the Extension Cloud Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractWith the rapid pace of urbanization, the occurrence of urban multihazard coupling risks has become increasingly frequent, posing serious threats to urban safety and sustainable development. This study proposes a ... -
Investigation into Noncontact Protective Strategy of Ancient Bridge Foundations against Scour Risk: An Experimental Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractScour is a natural hazard caused by water flow on erodible beds and has been identified as one of the key problems leading to the failures of bridges. Unlike those built in recent decades, ancient bridges have ... -
Inclusive Emergency Alerts: Exploring Whether Agencies Are Ready, Willing, and Able
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractEmergency alerting—the process of sending information to communities rapidly during a crisis or disaster event—received heightened attention in the United States in the past decade. As disasters increase in frequency ... -
Measuring the Effectiveness of Disaster Warning Messages: A Forum
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Critical Slope Profile in Purely Cohesive Soil under Seismic Conditions: An Alternate Stability Criterion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractThis study explores the efficacy of an alternate stability criterion to investigate the critical stability of purely cohesive soil (ϕ=0°) slopes under seismic excitation. By superseding the traditional stability ... -
Spatiotemporal Evolution Process and Mechanism of the Rainfall-Landslide-Tunnel Failure Disaster Chain: A Case Study in Fengjie County, Chongqing, China, July 2, 2016
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractUnder rainfall conditions, the loose accumulation layer in the tunnel entrance area is prone to landslide hazards. This study established a rainfall-landslide-tunnel failure disaster chain (RLTDC) using the Yangjiawan ... -
Damage Assessment of the 2020 Monroe, Louisiana, Tornado Using Different Remote-Sensing Methods and Enhanced Fujita Scales
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractIn 2014, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) undertook the effort of developing a standard for tornado wind speed ... -
Preparing for the Worst: An Assessment of Homeless-Serving Community-Based Organizations’ Written Disaster Plans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractHaving a written comprehensive disaster plan is crucial for community-based organizations (CBOs) to ensure preparedness, facilitate a swift and organized response, and minimize the impact of emergencies on operations, ... -
Impact of Strengthening Residential Buildings Based on Future Hurricane Risks in a Changing Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractHurricanes are one type of significant natural hazard, causing widespread and severe physical damage to buildings. Hurricane risks are projected to worsen under climate change. Many studies suggest an increasing ... -
Review of Temporary Shelter Planning Models: Global Trends and Evidence from Ongoing Practices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that in 2020 there were over 82.4 million displaced individuals worldwide, the highest number ever recorded. This underscores the urgency of ... -
The Reliability of Long Undrained Slopes with Anisotropic Variability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)Abstract The infinite slope equation serves as a useful tool for assessing the stability of long, shallow slopes. Alternatively, the finite-element method provides insights into long-slope failure mechanisms and deformation ... -

Improved Regional Earthquake Magnitude Scaling Relations for the Indian Subcontinent
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThis study emphasizes the significance of a homogenous earthquake catalogue for assessing seismicity, seismotectonics, seismic hazard, and seismic risk in a region. While various magnitude scales exist in earthquake ... -
Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Optimal Building-Level Flood Mitigation Strategies in At-Risk Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractFlood-prone communities face severe economic and structural losses, necessitating strategic building retrofitting to enhance resilience. However, selecting the most effective mitigation strategies remains challenging ... -
Performance Assessment of Geosynthetic Reinforced Quay Walls under Concurrent Tsunami and Earthquake Aftershocks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractCoastal structures are built against the dynamic loadings from waves, tides, and storms. However, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis can impart additional loadings on these structures that might ... -
Neural Network–Based Ground Motion Model for Central and Western Himalayas in India Using a Seismological Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe Himalayan region, formed by the collision of the stable Eurasian plate with the northward-moving Indian plate, is one of the most tectonically active areas in the world. This complex tectonic environment leads ... -
