seismic analysis

Seismic analysis is the study of how structures, like buildings and bridges, respond to earthquake forces. Engineers use this analysis to predict the effects of ground movement caused by seismic activity. It involves mathematical models and simulations to assess a structure’s strength and stability during an earthquake. The goal is to ensure safety by designing buildings that can withstand seismic forces, minimizing damage and protecting lives. This analysis helps in creating building codes and standards that guide construction in earthquake-prone areas.
