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(jié)構(gòu)動(dòng)力學(xué)為發(fā)表有關(guān)地震工程各個(gè)方面的論文提供了一個(gè)論壇。這一領(lǐng)域的問(wèn)題及其解決方案具有國(guó)際性，需要對(duì)幾個(gè)傳統(tǒng)學(xué)科的知識(shí)；期刊將反映這一點(diǎn)。該工程的主要學(xué)科是地震工程，包括工程地震學(xué)、海嘯、地震動(dòng)特征、土與基礎(chǔ)動(dòng)力學(xué)、波傳播、動(dòng)力分析的概率和確定性方法、結(jié)構(gòu)的實(shí)驗(yàn)行為和抗震設(shè)計(jì)方法。以及與執(zhí)業(yè)工程師密切相關(guān)的結(jié)構(gòu)改造。它包括地震規(guī)范要求和系統(tǒng)識(shí)別，以及補(bǔ)充能量耗散、基礎(chǔ)隔離和結(jié)構(gòu)控制。可能相關(guān)但不強(qiáng)調(diào)地震工程的論文不適合該期刊。
