Features: This book covers all fields of engineering seismology. The first part focuses on the characteristics of seismic ground motion, the stochastic process description of ground motion, seismic zone zoning, site-related seismic design response spectra, and their engineering applications. The second part introduces the theoretical foundations and practical methods of structural seismic response analysis, including principles of structural dynamics, linear and nonlinear seismic response, and structural random vibration analysis methods. The third part is on seismic design methods and seismic retrofitting techniques. In this part, seismic design principles are analyzed in depth, and comprehensive introductions are provided on the theoretical and experimental research results of seismic resistance capabilities of various structures, including conceptual design, seismic calculations, and structural measures for masonry structures, high-rise reinforced concrete structures, and high-rise steel structures. The book also gives a general introduction to the evaluation of seismic resistance and seismic retrofitting methods for masonry and reinforced concrete structures that were not designed for seismic resistance.
