Seismic engineering

Seismic engineering is a field of engineering focused on designing structures—like buildings and bridges—to withstand the forces of earthquakes. It involves understanding how seismic waves travel through the ground and affect structures. Engineers use advanced materials, technologies, and mathematical models to create buildings that can absorb and dissipate energy during an earthquake, reducing the risk of damage or collapse. The goal is to enhance safety and resilience in earthquake-prone areas, ensuring that people and property can better withstand these natural events.
