The main objectives of earthquake engineering are:
§ Understand the interaction between buildings or civil infrastructure and the ground.
§ Foresee the potential consequences of strong earthquakes on urban areas and civil infrastructure.
§ Design, construct and maintain structures to perform at earthquake exposure up to the expectations and in compliance with building code
A properly engineered structure does not necessarily have to be extremely strong or expensive.Institutes offering Sesimology And Earthquake Engineering Courses In India:
