Ground Motions from Past Earthquakes

Malhotra, Praveen K.

During earthquakes, the ground shakes in all three directions. The inertia of freestanding structures, such as buildings, bridges, and dams, prevents them from moving in unison with the ground. As a result, structures deform and develop stresses. This chapter discusses the ground motion characteristics which affect the response of structures. This chapter also explains how seismic loads are different from gravity and wind loads.
