Wikipedia Articles
- Earthquake construction - Earthquake construction is a branch of architectural engineering concerned with making sure structures can withstand as severe an earthquake shock as possible given the materials available.
- Mitigation of seismic motion - Mitigation of seismic motion is an important factor in earthquake engineering and construction in earthquake-prone areas. The destabilizing action of an earthquake on constructions may be direct (seismic motion of the ground) or indirect (earthquake-induced landslides and liquefaction of the foundation soils).
- Engineering research - Engineering research seeks improvements in theory and practice in fields such as high-speed computation, earthquake prediction, power systems and construction.
- NEES Cyberinfrastructure Center (NEESit) - The George E. Brown Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation Cyberinfrastructure Center (NEESit), based at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) is a service-focused organization funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to deliver information technology tools and infrastructure to enable earthquake engineers to remotely participate in experiments, perform hybrid simulations, organize and share data, ...
- Seismic analysis - Seismic Analysis or Earthquake Engineering is a subset of structural analysis and is the calculation of the response of a building (or nonbuilding) structure to earthquakes. It is part of the process of structural design or structural assessment and retrofit (see structural engineering) in regions where earthquakes are prevalent.
