Earthquake engineering is the study and design of buildings that can
withstand disasters such as earthquakes. This book on earthquake
engineering discusses topics related to seismic activity detection and
prevention as well as the building of earthquake-resistant buildings
that are based on predetermined standards. The various sub-fields of
earthquake engineering along with technological progress that have
future implications are glanced at herein. This book, with its detailed
analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and
students involved in this area at various levels. For someone with an
interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant
topics in the field of earthquake engineering.
