Earthquake studies involve science, technology and knowledge of infrastructure and engineering so that human and material losses can be minimized at the time when such occurrences are inescapable. This book discusses the different aspects of earthquake research and analysis through theoretical advances as well as practical applications. Some issues discussed are ground motion studies, depicting seismic sites, securing buildings from earthquake loading and mitigation of risk from earthquake. The main objective of this book is to support further research to enhance hazard assessment, seismic code building provisions and the dissemination of earthquake engineering data.

To minimize human and material losses due to inevitable occurrence of earthquakes, their study and understanding is of utmost importance. Some of the many topics included in this book are statistical seismology studies, the latest techniques and advances on earthquake precursors and forecasting, and also, new ways for immediate detection, data acquisition and its interpretation. The book covers a wide range of topics, from theoretical advances to practical applications.
