Preface
Earthquake is a natural disaster that severely threatens the safety of people. In consequence, increasing the seismic resistance and resilience of civil infrastructures and cities through in-depth research of earthquake engineering has significant value for safeguarding life and property. Note that since the devastating Tangshan Earthquake in 1976, no severe earthquake has taken place for more than 40 years in the eastern and central cities of China. Experiences gained from the previous earthquakes obviously cannot satisfy the latest development of structures and urbanizations. Considering the capacity limitations of physical testing facilities, an accurate, efficient, and realistic numerical simulation of seismic damage to structures and cities is critically needed for developing rational and practical engineering solutions and mitigation strategies to reduce the impacts of earthquakes. The authors of this monograph have systematically studied the earthquake disaster simulation of civil infrastructures for m
