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.

EVOLUTION OF THE SEISMICITY IN THE EASTERN MARMARA SEA A DECADE BEFORE AND AFTER THE 17 AUGUST 1999 IZMIT EARTHQUAKE (2011)
<p>We review the long term evolution of seismicity in the eastern Marmara Sea over a decade, before and after the 1999 Mw 7.6 Izmit earthquake. We analyze large scale space-time variations of seismicity in the region and illustrate the impact of the recent ...

HYBRID EMPIRICAL GROUND-MOTION PREDICTION EQUATIONS FOR EASTERN NORTH AMERICA USING NGA MODELS AND UPDATED SEISMOLOGICAL PARAMETERS (2011)
In the field of earthquake engineering, ground-motion prediction models are frequently used to estimate the peak ground acceleration (PGA) and the pseudospectral acceleration (PSA). In regions of the world where ground-motion recordings are plentiful, such ...

LOCKING DEPTHS ESTIMATED FROM GEODESY AND SEISMOLOGY ALONGTHE SAN ANDREAS FAULT SYSTEM: IMPLICATIONS FOR SEISMICMOMENT RELEASE (2011)
In this study we compare the effective thickness of the locked zone derived from seismicity with the thickness derived from geodesy to quantitatively measure the similarities and differences in the two approaches along the SAFS (San Andreas Fault System).
