Overview

Earthquakes are large-scale disturbances caused by massive wave propagations that are triggered by tectonic plate convergence or divergence. Earthquake engineering is an interdisciplinary field that is concerned with the structural analysis and study of large constructions such as buildings or bridges with the objective of making such structures more earthquake-resistant. This discipline also encompasses the study of the nature of seismic waves, their propagation and control. It also includes examining seismic design requirements and implementing earthquake-resistant architecture methods, materials and techniques. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of earthquake engineering and recent researches in this field. Chapters compiled herein provide thorough information about the key concepts and theories related to this discipline while also foregrounding the advances made in this field of study. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
