Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics provides a forum for the publication of papers on all aspects of engineering related to earthquakes. The problems in this field, and their solutions, are international in character and require knowledge of several traditional disciplines; the Journal will reflect this.The main subject of the Journal is earthquake engineering in all its varied aspects, including engineering seismology, tsunamis, ground motion characteristics, soil and foundation dynamics, wave propagation, probabilistic and deterministic methods of dynamic analysis, experimental behaviour of structures, and methods for earthquake resistant design and retrofit of structures that are germane to practicing engineers. It includes seismic code requirements and system identification, as well as supplemental energy dissipation, base isolation, and structural control. Papers that may be relevant but do not emphasize earthquake engineering are not suitable for the Journal.

地震工程和結構動力學為發(fā)表有關地震工程各個方面的論文提供了一個論壇。這一領域的問題及其解決方案具有國際性，需要對幾個傳統(tǒng)學科的知識；期刊將反映這一點。該工程的主要學科是地震工程，包括工程地震學、海嘯、地震動特征、土與基礎動力學、波傳播、動力分析的概率和確定性方法、結構的實驗行為和抗震設計方法。以及與執(zhí)業(yè)工程師密切相關的結構改造。它包括地震規(guī)范要求和系統(tǒng)識別，以及補充能量耗散、基礎隔離和結構控制。可能相關但不強調地震工程的論文不適合該期刊。
