Fundamental concepts of earthquake engineering /
"Despite the recent advances in our ability to predict many of Earth's natural phenomena, determining exactly when and where an earthquake will occur remains a mystery that may never be solved. However, the techniques employed to mitigate the damage caused by earthquakes to our built envir...
