Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics

This book provides comprehensive insights into the fields of earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. It comprises of research work contributed by various experts and researchers in the field of earthquake engineering. Both these disciplines focus on providing solutions to the problems created by damaging earthquakes, by planning, designing, constructing and managing earthquake-resistant structures and facilities. The significant studies included in this book, chart new and vital directions of research in the field of seismology. Several studies included discuss the probability of structural damages, others present approaches related to mitigating the risks of structural damage caused by earthquakes. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts of these disciplines. This book studies, analyses and upholds the pillar of earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. It is a ripe text for engineers, seismologists, geologists, researchers and students associated with these fields.
