Seismic behavior research focuses on studying the response of structures and materials to seismic waves or vibrations, typically caused by earthquakes. This field aims to understand how buildings, bridges, and other structures perform under seismic loading and how to design structures to withstand these forces. Researchers in this area investigate the behavior of different materials, the effects of ground motion on structures, and strategies to mitigate seismic damage and improve the seismic resilience of buildings and infrastructure. The ultimate goal of seismic behavior research is to ensure the safety and stability of structures during and after seismic events.
