Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering

Aims & Scope

Papers in The Bulletin cover the full spectrum from seismology and geology through to applied earthquake engineering, including: Studies of major historical earthquakes Reconnaissance reports of recent earthquake events around the world Technical papers which examine aspects of design and the performance of materials Retrofitting and upgrading issues The Bulletinoffers scientific excellence at an affordable cost.

Its editorial policy is to offer: Peer reviewed articles Low cost Prompt publication Articles for a broad readership The Bulletin is included in the membership fee (see Join), or is available separately by subscription (See Subscriptions).

The Bulletin plays an important role in furthering the advancement of the science and practice of earthquake engineering, and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and expertise.
