The main objective of this note is to
introduce the basic knowledge on earthquake engineering. This note covers the
source mechanics of earthquake, hazards and its consequences and also covers
earthquake measurement and instrumentation.
This book covers the
following topics: Upper mantle discontinuities, Seismic scattering, Earthquake
location methods, Seismic tomography, Back-projection methods, Pulse shapes,
spectra, and stress drop, Earthquake scaling and energy, Earthquake triggering.
This note provides an
understanding about the basics of seismic wave propagation and methods to
determine the structure of the earth and the mechanism of an earthquake. Topics
covered includes: The elastic wave equation, Ray theory, travel time equations,
reflection/transmission coefficients, Refraction seismics, Reflection seismics,
Travel time inversion, Surface waves and normal modes, Earthquake focal
mechanisms.
This book covers the following Topics:
Concepts in Classical Seismology, Seismic Waves, Seismic Tomography, Theory of
Seismic Source, Retrieval of Seismic Source Parameters, Seismic Source
Parameters, Physics of Earthquakes, Earthquakes and Plate Motion.
