This journal is established by the institute of Engineeing Mechanics (IEM), China Earthquake Administration, to promote scientuific exchange between Chinese and foreign scientists and engineers so as to improve the theory and practice of earhtquake 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 the 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 resulted 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 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 extremely 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
