Modern Earthquake Engineering

Abstract

Earthquakes can lead to various types of damages, including foundation damage , structural damage , non-structural component damage, and contents and furniture damage .

The frame and huge foundation of the earth shake like a coward.

William Shakespeare

Henry IV, Part 1.
