Aims & Scope

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering presents original, peer-reviewed papers on research related to the broad spectrum of earthquake engineering aimed at the risk reduction and resilience of the built environment. The journal offers a global forum for presentation and discussion on new developments in earthquake engineering design including codes and regulations, national and international mitigation policies, lessons learned after damaging earthquakes, strengthening of existing buildings and seismic protection systems. The broad spectrum of topics covered includes: hazard studies and methods for risk mitigation; earthquake source mechanism and strong motion characterization and their use for engineering applications; geological and geotechnical site conditions under earthquake excitations; cyclic behaviour of soils; analysis and design of foundations under seismic conditions; zonation and microzonation methodologies; earthquake scenarios and vulnerability assessments; earthquake codes and guidelines; probabilistic approaches for assessment and design of buildings and bridges; soil-structure interaction; protection of heritage structures and communities;  data-driven methods in earthquake engineering; base isolation and other seismic protective systems; analysis of compounded hazards, and more. This is the Official Publication of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering. The journal’s objectives are also to endorse and align with the UN sustainable development goals SDG 9 (infrastructure) and SDG 11 (sustainable cities).
