"The Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering is designed to be the authoritative and comprehensive referencecovering all major aspects of the science of earthquake engineering, specifically focusing on the interactionbetween earthquakes and infrastructure. The encyclopedia comprises approximately 300 contributions. Since earthquake engineering deals with the interaction between earthquake disturbances and the built infrastructure, the emphasis is on basic design processes important to both non-specialists and engineers so that readers become suitably well informed without needing to deal with the details of specialist understanding. The encyclopedia’s content provides technically-inclined and informed readers about the ways in which earthquakes can affect our infrastructure and how engineers would go about designing against, mitigating and remediating these effects. The coverage ranges from buildings, foundations, underground construction, lifelines and bridges, roads, embankments and slopes. The encyclopedia also aims to provide cross-disciplinary and cross-domain information to domain-experts. This is the first single reference encyclopedia of this breadth and scope that brings together the science, engineering and technological aspects of earthquakes and structures."

"The work presented in this thesis is divided two subjects. First, devoted to the behavior, mechanic model, simulation and analysis of plate tectonics under excitation force approximated. Approach of an Earthquake are assumptions on the nature of the rupture process, review the evidence for the essential importance of the flow under plate with the modes of deformations.

Earthquake is primarily a mechanical process which appears as genuire rupture of crust and the earth behaves as an elastic body during the short time span of the phenomena. The friction has probably a fundamental role in the mechanics of the earthquakes. Rock mechanicians consider an earthquake as a stick-slip event controlled by the friction properties of the fault.

During an earthquake, on the nature of the fault and on the effect of trapped fluids within the crust at seismogenic depth, fault zone head seismic waves are generated by a shear-dislocation source and then propagated through the modeled earth medium. Wave propagation theory is used to solve the problem at hand for wave motion response, which is found as the superposition of the mean and scattered wave response.

Second, devoted model of the wave propagation, an important modeling tool of fault zone properties at depth can be provided by accurate simulations of seismic fault zone head and trapped waves for realistic structures. Analytical solutions for seismic wave fields generated by double-couple sources at material discontinuities in plane-parallel structures. Extensive 2D studies of the dependency of fault zone wave motion on basic media properties and source receiver geometries show that there are significant trade offs between propagation distances along the structure, fault zone width, impedance contrasts, source location within.

And the most important applications of the theory of structural dynamics is in analyzing the response of the structures to ground shaking caused by an earthquake. The study for earthquake response of linear SDF systems to earthquake motions concerned the displacement, velocity and acceleration. Then we introduced the response spectrum concept, which is central to earthquake engineering, together with procedures to determine the peak response of systems directly from the response spectrum."

"After the March 11, 2011, earthquake in Japan, there is overwhelming interest in worst-case analysis, including the critical excitation method. Nowadays, seismic design of structures performed by any seismic code is based on resisting previous natural earthquakes. Critical excitation methods in earthquake engineering, 2e, develops a new framework for modeling design earthquake loads for inelastic structures. The 2e, includes three new chapters covering the critical excitation problem for multi-component input ground motions, and that for elastic-plastic structures in a more direct way are incorporated and discussed in more depth. Finally, the problem of earthquake resilience of super high-rise buildings is discussed from broader viewpoints."

"Earthquake engineering is the ultimate challenge for structural engineers. Even if natural phenomena involve great uncertainties, structural engineers need to design buildings, bridges, and dams capable of resisting the destructive forces produced by them. These disasters have created a new awareness about the disaster preparedness and mitigation. Before a building, utility system, or transportation structure is built, engineers spend a great deal of time analyzing those structures to make sure they will perform reliably under seismic and other loads. The purpose of this book is to provide structural engineers with tools and information to improve current building and bridge design and construction practices and enhance their sustainability during and after seismic events. In this book, Khan explains the latest theory, design applications and code provisions. Earthquake-resistant structures features seismic design and retrofitting techniques for low and high raise buildings, single and multi-span bridges, dams and nuclear facilities. The author also compares and contrasts various seismic resistant techniques in USA, Russia, Japan, Turkey, India, China, New Zealand, and Pakistan."
