The main objective of this note is to
introduce the basic knowledge on earthquake engineering. This note covers the
source mechanics of earthquake, hazards and its consequences and also covers
earthquake measurement and instrumentation.
This note provides an
understanding about the basics of seismic wave propagation and methods to
determine the structure of the earth and the mechanism of an earthquake. Topics
covered includes: The elastic wave equation, Ray theory, travel time equations,
reflection/transmission coefficients, Refraction seismics, Reflection seismics,
Travel time inversion, Surface waves and normal modes, Earthquake focal
mechanisms.
This note presents a basic study in
seismology and the utilization of seismic waves for the study of Earth's
interior. It introduces techniques necessary for understanding of elastic wave
propagation in layered media. Topics covered includes: Stress and strain,
Relationship between stress and strain, Equation of motion, Wave equation,
d'Alembert's solution, Separation of variables, Fourier transform, Slowness,
Travel time curves, Travel time tomography, Snell's law, Critical and
post-critical reflection, Surface waves-ground roll, Normal modes, Anisotropy,
Earthquake, Focal mechanics.
