The specialty section Earthquake Engineering welcomes critical and in-depth submissions on earthquake ground motions and their effects on buildings and infrastructures. Manuscripts should yield new insights and ultimately contribute to a safer and more reliable design of building structures and infrastructures.
The specialty section Earthquake Engineering welcomes critical and in-depth submissions on earthquake ground motions and their effects on buildings and infrastructures. Manuscripts should yield new insights and ultimately contribute to a safer and more reliable design of building structures and infrastructures.
The scope includes the characterization of earthquake ground motions (e.g. near-fault, far-fault, short-period, long-period), their underlying properties, their intrinsic relationship with structural responses, and the true behaviors of building structures and infrastructures under risky and uncertain ground motions. More specific topics include recorded ground motions, generated ground motions, response spectra, stochastic modeling of ground motion, critical excitation, geotechnical aspects, soil mechanics, soil liquefaction, soil-structure interactions, pile foundations, earthquake input energy, structural control, passive control, active control, base-isolation, steel structures, reinforced concrete structures, wood structures, building retrofit, structural optimization, uncertainty analysis, robustness analysis, and redundancy analysis.
Authors submitting a Mini Review, Review, Hypothesis & Theory, or General Commentary to the section Earthquake Engineering should highlight in their cover letter how their publication record has prepared them for contributing to the field. Prospective organizers of Research Topics (information at http://home.frontiersin.org/about/research-topics) should provide the Editorial Office (builtenvironment@frontiersin.org) with their CV, also clarifying how their research expertise qualifies them to organize a Research Topic on that particular subject.
