Seismic performance evaluation of the University of Bengkulu's Rectorate Building: geotechnical ground response, structural dynamics, and geoheritage context

Analysis of the Effects of Earthquakes on the Pile-Box Culvert System at the Gentos Bridge, Situbondo, Indonesia

Soft soil conditions present significant challenges to the seismic performance of transportation infrastructure, particularly box culverts constructed in earthquake-prone regions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of galam timber piles in improving the stability and reducing the settlement of a pile-supported box...

Subsurface basin structure, seismic site conditions and earthquake damage: case study of the Gölbaşi basin, Türkiye

Gölbaşı (Adıyaman) Town, located within a basin along a left-stepping segment of the East Anatolian Fault Zone in Türkiye, experienced severe damage during the 6 February 2023 Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.6 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Widespread liquefaction, ground subsidence, lateral spreading, bearing capacity failures and bu...

Ground response analysis during a strong earthquake triggered by the Musi Segment of the Sumatra Fault in Kepahiang, Indonesia

Safeguarding heritage after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes: seismic assessment and proposed compatible strengthening of a historic masonry building

ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic behavior and strengthening strategy of a historical masonry building located in the Yeşilyurt – Gündüzbey region of Malatya, which was severely damaged during the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Field observations, geotechnical data, and material properties were i...

Analysis of building seismic damage characteristics and topographic amplification effects of the 2026 Diebu Ms5.5 earthquake

On January 26, 2026, an Ms5.5 shallow-focus earthquake occurred in Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province. The affected area lies within the alpine gorge of the Bailong River on the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, a region characterized by rugged topography and complex geological co...

Effect of Seismic Isolation on Earthquake Behavior of Mid-Rise Reinforced Concrete Building Systems

When the latest updated Türkiye Earthquake Hazard Map and Active Fault Maps are examined, it is seen that a large part of Türkiye's surface area is at earthquake risk. With increasing urbanization, the majority of the population lives in cities built on active earthquake faults. The 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes ce...
