Abstract The developing history of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique is summarized and the position and the need of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique in the national strategy are analyzed. The structure of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique is constructed, and the main contents and research direction of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique are separated. The situation of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster technique is analyzed and the developing trend of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster technique is pointed out. The developing thought of earthquake engineering is identified and the development planning of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique is presented. The priority subjects, science research plans, construction projects, special research projects of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique are presented. The suggestions are obtained for development program of earthquake engineering and earthquake disaster prevention technique in China during the national Twelfth FiveYear plan.
