Pathfinder - Earthquake Engineering

Scope Note :

“Earthquake Engineering deals with the effects of earthquakes on people and their environment and with methods of reducing those effects. It is a very broad field, drawing on aspects of geology, seismology, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, risk engineering, and other technical fields. Its practice requires consideration of social, economic, and political factors.” (Source: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. TA 654.6 K7 1996, 3rd floor, Circulation Section)
