Seismic Analysis and Design of Building Structures

Dear Colleagues,

Earthquakes are one of the most severe natural disasters. They induce significant damage and even the collapse of building structures. As a result; it is crucial to accurately analyze the seismic performance of building structures. In addition; in some countries; such as China; all new building structures should be designed in consideration of the influence of earthquakes; and the criticality of seismic design should be emphasized. In all; seismic analysis and the design of building structures are a fundamental; traditional and crucial aspect of civil engineering; and are therefore worthy of investigation.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in seismic analysis and the design of building structures. Topics in this Special Issue may include; but are not limited to; the following:

• seismic analysis of building structures;
• seismic design of building structures;
• seismic performance improvement of building structures.
