About this document
Introduction to Earthquake Engineering by Kunaal Chaudhary is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an introduction to earthquake engineering. It discusses the effects of earthquakes on buildings, including how horizontal shaking can be of major concern compared to vertical shaking. It also summarizes some key theories and criteria for earthquake-resistant design according to Indian codes, including designing for ductility and limiting damage rather than just strength. Finally, it outlines basic requirements for earthquake-resistant structures such as adequate strength and stiffness
