Special Issue on Advanced Methods for Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building Structures
When an earthquake occurs, it causes great damage to a large area. Although seismic engineering continues to develop, it is reported that recently occurred earthquakes inflicted major damage to various structures and loss of human lives.

Influence of Lower Lateral Bracing on the Seismic Pounding Damage to Slab-On-Girder Steel Bridges
During strong seismic events, seismic-induced pounding has been observed to cause damage to bridges. Previous studies on seismic-induced bridge pounding responses have generally focused on reinforced concrete bridges.
