Synopsis

Earthquake engineering is a field of engineering, which includes designing, and analyzing structures with respect to seismic loading. The main goal of earthquake engineering is to make structures, which are more earthquake resistant and resilient. The field is rapidly evolving with a major focus on protecting the society, and the environment by minimizing the seismic risk to socially and economically acceptable levels. The field includes concepts like seismic design, failure mode, earthquake-resistant construction, etc. Seismic vibration control devices are used in building structures to reduce the potential impact of earthquakes. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists, which will provide innovative insights into this field. It studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of earthquake engineering and its utmost significance in modern times. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with the study of earthquake engineering will benefit alike from this text.
