Seismic engineering is a branch of engineering focused on designing structures that can withstand the forces generated by earthquakes. It involves understanding how seismic waves travel through the ground and how buildings respond to these forces. Engineers use this knowledge to create safer buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure, ensuring they can endure seismic events without collapsing. The field combines principles from civil engineering, geology, and physics. Tools like seismic analysis software and earthquake simulation models help engineers predict how structures will behave during an earthquake. By implementing these designs, communities can reduce damage and protect lives in earthquake-prone areas.
