Aims and Scope

The Journal of Structural and Earthquake Engineering (JSEE) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, original research that advances the science and practice of structural and earthquake engineering. The journal serves as a global forum for the dissemination of innovative theoretical, analytical, computational, experimental, and field-based investigations addressing contemporary challenges in the analysis, design, assessment, and performance of civil infrastructure.

JSEE welcomes contributions that present significant scientific advances, novel methodologies, emerging technologies, and engineering solutions with the potential to enhance the resilience, safety, durability, and sustainability of structures subjected to static, dynamic, and extreme loading conditions.

All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous single-anonymized peer-review process conducted by independent experts to ensure scientific excellence, originality, technical rigor, and compliance with the highest standards of publication ethics.

The journal publishes original research articles, review papers, technical notes, technical briefs, and case studies that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in structural and earthquake engineering.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following research areas:

  • Structural analysis, mechanics, modeling, and design
  • Computational mechanics and advanced numerical simulation
  • Finite element, mesh-free, and multi-scale modeling techniques
  • Structural optimization, reliability, and performance-based design
