Engineering Seismology

Engineering seismology is a field that studies how earthquakes affect buildings and infrastructure. It involves analyzing seismic waves, understanding ground motion, and assessing seismic hazards to design structures that can withstand earthquakes. The goal is to ensure safety, stability, and durability of constructions in earthquake-prone areas. By integrating geology, physics, and engineering, this discipline helps engineers create buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure that can better resist seismic forces, reducing damage and protecting lives during seismic events.
