Basic Eq Engineering

This document discusses the basics of earthquake engineering. It covers topics like plate tectonics, the causes of earthquakes via the elastic rebound theory, different types of seismic waves like P and S body waves and Rayleigh and Love surface waves. It also discusses earthquake magnitude and intensity scales as well as seismic hazards like ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides and tsunamis. The effects of earthquakes on structures and earthquake resistant design philosophies and techniques for reinforced concrete buildings are presented. The conclusion emphasizes minimizing earthquake losses through construction of earthquake resistant structures.
