Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
In this paper, we will discuss the theoretical foundation of Earthquake Engineering and Design, starting from an introduction to seismology. We will then address the dynamic behaviour of single and multi-degree of freedom systems subjected to different ground motions. We will apply this theoretical basis to project-oriented practical examples of seismic-resistant design.
