Earthquake Engineering Theory and Implementation Free PDF
By Nazzal Armouti
Earthquake engineering is the science that studies the behavior of structures under earthquake excitation and provides the rules on how to design structures to survive seismic shocks.
Earthquakes are wild and violent events that can have dramatic effects on structures. In fact, many structures have collapsed during earthquakes because earthquake-induced forces or displacements exceeded the ultimate capacity of the structures. Therefore, the study of structural behavior at full capacity is a necessary element of earthquake engineering.
