Introduction to Earthquake with Explanatory Data
Abstract Earthquakes can cause local soil failure, surface ruptures, structural damage and human deaths. The most significant earthquake effects on buildings or their structural components result from the seismic waves that propagate outwards in all directions from the earthquake focus. These different types of waves can cause significant ground movements up to several hundred miles from the source. The movements depend on the intensity, sequence, duration and the frequency content of the earthquake-induced ground motions. For design purposes ground motion is described by the history of hypothesized ground acceleration and is commonly expressed in terms of the response spectrum derived from that history.
