Its theoretical underpinnings derive from applied physics laws and empirical insights into the structural behavior of diverse materials and geometries. Within this field exist various specializations like civil engineering structures, earthquake, engineering structures, aerospace structures, and mechanical structures. Earthquake engineering structures are specifically engineered to endure seismic events. Earthquake engineering utilizes a multitude of elements such as columns, beams, arches, platers, and shells in its works. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of structural engineering and related fields. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and epxerts alike and contriobute to the growth of the discipline ER -
