Earthquake Engineering and
Engineering Vibration, published biannually, is established by the
Institute of Engineering Mechanics (IEM), China Earthquake
Administration, in cooperation with MCEER, University at Buffalo, State
University of New York, to promote scientific exchange between Chinese
and foreign scientists and engineers so as to improve the theory and
practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery.
To accomplish this purpose, the
journal aims to attract a balanced number of papers between Chinese and
international authors by publishing original papers and invited papers
addressing the state-of-the-art knowledge and practice that have overlapping
interest between China and other countries related to earthquake
engineering. The journal has a special interest in encouraging joint
authorship of Chinese and foreign contributors such as those resulting from
PRC-US cooperative research projects.
The following is a list of some
subject areas describing the scope of the journal:
 |
Evaluations of damage to
structures and engineering systems resulting from recent earthquakes.
|
|
New observations of strong
motion characteristics and data processing techniques. |
|
Seismic risk and hazard
analysis of civil infrastructure systems. |
|
Site effects on structures
and geotechnical earthquake engineering. |
|
Seismic behavior and design
criteria for buildings and lifeline systems. |
|
Advances in structural
dynamics relevant to earthquake engineering. |
|
Theory and practice of
health monitoring for structures under extreme loading. |
|
Seismic retrofit strategies
for existing infrastructure systems. |
|
Structural response
modification using emerging control technologies and high performance
materials. |
|
Engineering structural
vibration under wind, wave and other dynamical loadings |
