About the course

Earthquake Engineering covers the basics of Earthquakes and Seismology, along with the History of Earthquakes in India and several Seismic Zones. To study earthquakes, mathematically, it becomes evident to learn about Vibrations and Damping. We also discuss Forces related to Earthquakes and their Effect on Different Systems. In the end, we learn about the Building of Earthquake-Resistant Buildings as per IS 4326, IS 13920, and IS 1893-2002 Part-I.
