Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering combines aspects ofengineering seismology, structural and geotechnical earthquakeengineering to assemble the vital components required for a deepunderstanding of response of structures to earthquake groundmotion, from the seismic source to the evaluation of actions anddeformation required for design.The nature of earthquake risk assessment is inherentlymulti-disciplinary. Whereas Fundamentals of EarthquakeEngineering addresses only structural safety assessment anddesign, the problem is cast in its appropriate context by relatingstructural damage states to societal consequences and expectations,through the fundamental response quantities of stiffness, strengthand ductility. The book is designed to support graduate teachingand learning, introduce practicing structural and geotechnicalengineers to earthquake analysis and design problems, as well asbeing a reference book for further studies.Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering includes materialon the nature of earthquake sources and mechanisms, various methodsfor the characterization of earthquake input motion, damageobserved in reconnaissance missions, modeling of structures for thepurposes of response simulation, definition of performance limitstates, structural and architectural systems for optimal seismicresponse, and action and deformation quantities suitable fordesign. The accompanying website atwww.wiley.com/go/elnashai contains a comprehensive set ofslides illustrating the chapters and appendices. A set ofproblems with solutions and worked-through examples is availablefrom the Wley Editorial team.The book, slides and problem set constitute a tried and testedsystem for a single-semester graduate course. The approach takenavoids tying the book to a specific regional seismic design code ofpractice and ensures its global appeal to graduate students andpracticing engineers.
