Introduction -- 1. Origin of Earthquakes and Seismic Waves -- 2. Body Elastic Wave Propagation; 3. Surface Elastic Wave Propagation -- 4. Modelling and Earthquake-Resistant Design.

An earthquake is a powerful surface acoustic wave (SAW) generated by a seismic event, such as a volcano or motion of the Earth's layers, that propagates on the Earth's surface. This book explains the design of earthquake resistant structures using SAW techniques that offer a variety of experimental setups and theoretical models. Designs of protecting systems able to dissipate or deflect SSW energy built around buildings or towns located in earthquake regions set this book apart from other seismology publications.
