Earthquake and Stochastic Environment: From earthquake observation to structural seismic resistance

In the past few decades, there have been many catastrophic earthquakes worldwide, such as the Indonesia M9.1 earthquake in 2004, the Wenchuan M8.0 earthquake in 2008, the Japan M9.1 earthquake in 2011, the Alaska M8.2 earthquake in 2021, and the Türkiye M7.8 earthquake in 2023. The current Research Topic aims to use seismic observation records to invert the source process, source parameters, seismic propagation path parameters, site effects, and seismic design of buildings. We invite experts in fields such as seismology, earthquake engineering, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering, to report their findings and discuss earthquake disaster risk assessment methods, and optimize structural seismic design methods. We especially welcome submissions on earthquake dynamics processes, earthquake ground motion simulation, earthquake risk assessment, and structural seismic design, particularly on establishing earthquake prediction models for the study area, new methods of ground motion simulation, and optimizing structural seismic design.
