Preface
The practice of earthquake engineering involves identification, evaluation, and mitigation of seismic hazards. This book deals with the subdivision of regions into zones that have relatively similar exposure to various earthquake-related effects. The basis of seismic zonation is to model the rupture mechanism at the source of an earthquake, evaluate the propagation of waves through the earth to the top of the bedrock, determine the effects of local soil profile and thus develop a hazard map indicating the vulnerability of the area to the potential seismic hazards. Many earthquakes in the past have left many lessons to be learned which are essential to plan infrastructure and even mitigate such calamities in future. India has been facing threats from earthquakes since ancient times.
