Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics dedicates selected issues of the journal, normally no more than one issue a year, to a special topic. The Special Issue publication is attractive to authors as well as readers. To researchers and practicing professionals, it provides a forum to present their work in a publication of related papers on one subject. To readers, it provides a comprehensive view of a timely subject in one venue. Each Special Issue normally consists of (ⅰ) original papers (submitted in response to a Call for Papers) and (ⅱ) an invited state-of-the-art or review paper, as deemed appropriate for the topic. The editorial board encourages the submission of manuscripts that address the following areas: basic research papers that advance fundamental knowledge of the subject; applied research papers that extend and re-interpret existing results, and then present these results in a form suitable for use in engineering practice; and papers that report on applications of research to solve practical problems. A Guest Editor, appointed for each Special Issue, reviews the contributed papers, with the advice and assistance of other reviewers.
