Seismic engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with the planning, design, and construction of structures to withstand earthquakes. It involves studying the behavior of buildings and infrastructure during seismic events, as well as developing strategies to minimize damage and ensure the safety of people in earthquake-prone areas. Seismic engineers use advanced technologies such as computer simulations, ground motion analysis, and structural dynamics to assess and improve the earthquake resistance of buildings and other structures. The goal of seismic engineering is to design structures that can withstand the forces of seismic events and protect lives and property.
