Developments in Earthquake Engineering have focussed on the
capacity and response of structures. They often overlook the
importance of seismological knowledge to earthquake-proofing of
design. It is not enough only to understand the anatomy of the
structure, you must also appreciate the nature of the likely
earthquake. Seismic design, as detailed in this book, is the
bringing together of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering
Seismology. It focuses on the seismological aspects of design -
analyzing various types of earthquake and how they affect
structures differently. Understanding the distinction between these
earthquake types and their different impacts on buildings can make
the difference between whether a building stands or falls, or at
least to how much it costs to repair. Covering the basis and basics
of the major international codes, this is the essential guide for
professionals working on structures in earthquake zones around the
world.
