INTRO COMP EARTHQUA ENG (2ND ED)

Focusing on solid continuum mechanics and finite element methods, this book provides an in-depth exploration of computational techniques in earthquake engineering. It delves into numerical simulations of strong ground motion and faulting, while addressing stochastic modeling for uncertain underground structures. The work emphasizes the verification of methods through comparison with observed data and includes practical examples of numerical simulations. Additionally, it covers advanced topics that showcase the application of computational science technology to real-world earthquake engineering challenges.
