This book is intended primarily as a textbook for students studying structural engineering it covers three main areas in the analysis and design of structural systems subjected to seismic loading basic seismology basic structural dynamics and code based calculations used to determine seismic loads from an equivalent static method and a dynamics based method it provides students with the . 1 introduction earthquake engineering is a 20th century development so recent that it is yet premature to attempt to write its history many persons in many countries have been involved in the development of earthquake engineering and it is difficult if not impossible to identify the contributions of each. Earthquake engineering is the science of the performance of buildings and structures when subjected to seismic loading it also assists analysing the interaction between civil infrastructure and the ground including the consequences of earthquakes on structures
