Oct 1, 2025October 2025 monthly summary for gem/oq-engine focused on delivering robust seismic hazard calculations and reliable export pipelines in alignment with ASCE 7/41 standards. Key improvements include hardening the ASCE 7 and ASCE 41 calculation logic and the export path, better handling of zero hazard scenarios, and refined site data association to produce more reliable hazard outputs. ASCE41-23 output accuracy and parameter exports were enhanced with corrected data sources for seismic parameters, updated indexing, and improved rounding to ensure exports reflect true values. Major bugs fixed include zero hazard calculations for ASCE 41-17 corrected by removing erroneous percentile keys, preventing duplicate processing of site class identifiers, and internal debugging cleanup to streamline the calculation code. Test suite stabilization addressed data type inconsistencies and parsing differences to ensure CI reliability. Overall impact: Increased reliability and accuracy of seismic hazard calculations and export results, reducing downstream errors and improving decision-making for engineering assessments. Strengthened code quality, maintainability, and test coverage across the ASCE calculation and export workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python-based calculation and export pipelines, data handling and correction for seismic parameters, indexing and rounding for precise exports, type-safe test data handling, debugging and code cleanup, and robust test suite maintenance.

Apr 1, 2025In April 2025, gem/oq-engine delivered targeted seismic design improvements, focusing on accuracy, maintainability, and test discipline. Key outcomes include a refactor of ASCE7-16 seismic design calculations with dictionary-based parameter handling, removal of redundant parameters, extraction of seismicity classification into a dedicated get_seismicity_class, and alignment of test data for ASCE7-16. Additionally, seismic parameter enhancements were introduced in the AELO engine (Sd/Sm) and Ss/S1 handling was updated to support vs30-based logic for soil class BC, accompanied by changelog updates. These changes improve reliability, reduce design drift, and enable faster future iteration, while maintaining strong test coverage and documentation.
