Earthquake-resistant and energy-efficient buildings represent cutting-edge advancements in architectural and engineering design. These structures are built to withstand seismic forces by incorporating innovative materials and engineering techniques. Additionally, they integrate energy-efficient technologies like solar panels, efficient insulation and smart heating and cooling systems to minimise environmental impact and reduce operational costs. By combining resilience against natural disasters with sustainable building practices, earthquake-resistant and energy-efficient buildings not only protect lives and property during earthquakes but also contribute to long-term environmental sustainability. This book presents the complex subject of earthquake engineering in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of architectural and engineering design as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
