Earthquake Engineering: Modeling and Analysis

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 includ...
