地震工程包括各种活动，旨在最大程度地减少地震造成的破坏和破坏。该主题包括评估产生地震的构造和断层机制，以估计地震何时发生以及它们将有多大。了解地震能量如何通过地面传播。在结构的整个生命周期中，量化特定位置可能的地面响应。评估特定地点土壤的液化潜力。设计结构和生命线服务（电力
Earthquake Engineering encompasses a broad range of activities that seek to minimise the damage and disruption communities suffer when hit by an earthquake. The subject includes Assessing the tectonic and fault mechanisms that generate earthquaker to estimate when they will occur and how large they will be. Understanding how the earthquake energy trasmits through the ground. Quantifying the likely ground surface responses at a specific site throughout the life of a structure. Assessing the liquefaction potential of soils at specific sites. Designing structures and lifeline services (electricity, gas, transport, water and wastewater) to minimise the damage and disruption during and after an earthquake. Planning for emergency response and post-earthquake recovery. Preparing communities for earthquakes
