  Earthquake or Seismic Performance Defines a Structure's Ability
  Author(s): Mark Barash*
  
  Earthquake engineering is an interdisciplinary department of engineering that designs and analyzes systems, which includes homes and bridges, with earthquakes in thoughts. Its usual intention is to make such structures more proof against earthquakes. An earthquake (or seismic) engineer pursuits to construct systems to be able to now not be broken in minor shaking and will keep away from critical harm or crumble in a primary earthquake. Earthquake engineering is the scientific subject concerned with defensive society, the herbal surroundings, and the man-made surroundings from earthquakes by way of limiting the seismic risk to socioeconomically desirable stages. traditionally, it's been narrowly defined because the look at of the conduct of structures and geo-systems subject to seismic loading; it's far considered as a subset of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering,..
