Engineering Disaster Analysis and Earthquake-Resistant Buildings Design

Dear Colleagues,

To effectively prevent the occurrence of engineering disasters, more attention should be paid to disaster mechanisms and anti-seismic measures in various types of engineering structures. In modern building structural design, seismic performance is an important manifestation of building structure functions, especially in earthquake prone areas.

The study of disaster mechanisms and dynamic response in engineering disasters, as well as anti-seismic measures for various types of engineering buildings, is one of the most important directions of development, with the following advantages: (1) it is conducive to reducing engineering building costs; (2) it helps to improve the risk avoidance rate of various engineering structure in different disasters; and (3) this is conducive to safety construction in earthquake areas.

Adequate research on disaster mechanisms, dynamic response analysis methods, and anti-seismic measures in engineering disasters is the design cornerstone of various engineering structures. Dynamic numerical simulation and model test methods play a crucial role in seismic research field. This Special Issue focuses on collecting high-quality articles on the advanced original research and technology of engineering disaster analysis and earthquake-resistant buildings design, emphasizing the latest advances in engineering disaster analysis and seismic design through comprehensive theoretical, experimental, and numerical methods.

The target contributors include academics and scientists, civil engineers, construction and project managers, and graduate students in related fields. The Guest Editors cordially welcome high-quality papers focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Seismic design of buildings;
• Slope hazard analysis;
• Tunnel disaster analysis;
• Foundation disaster analysis;
• Intelligence of disaster analysis systems;
• Seismic isolation and shock absorption;
• Multi-field coupling of rock and soil mechanics and related constitutive models;
• New methods for numerical simulation of engineering disasters;
• New methods for model testing of engineering disasters.
