Earthquake Engineering

Earthquake engineering is defined as the scientific branch devoted to the protection of society from earthquake hazards. More specifically earthquake engineering is defined as the behavior study of structures and geostructures during and after an earthquake. Geotechpedia provides a plethora of papers concerning earthquake engineering.
