Table of ContentsReviews...a very practical and useful book for introducing earthquake engineering to college level students. -Jay Lin, AECOM, Oakland, California, USA An invaluable resource of encyclopedic information and academic/technical knowledge that takes the reader step-by-step to the concept of earthquake engineering, its impact and our mitigation measures through mathematics. - Daniel Tsavdaridis, University of Leeds, United Kingdom ... the book contents fit nicely with senior-level students that would introduce and engage them to learn more about earthquake engineering. The authors did a great job in introducing the concepts involved in earthquake engineering without sacrificing the needed rigor to tackle structural dynamics topics. The illustrations in this textbook are very effective. - Amjad J.
