An earthquake is a natural phenomenon characterized by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic waves. This release of energy is typically due to a sudden change in the condition of elastic equilibrium within the Earth.
Mechanism of Earthquakes:
Effect of Earthquake Duration on Structural Reliability:
Earthquakes are caused by a sudden change in the Earth's elastic equilibrium, leading to seismic waves. The duration of an earthquake can significantly impact structural reliability, and methodologies to account for this duration are crucial for accurate design and safety assessments.
