In earthquake engineering, seismic input refers to the quantification of the ground motion that a structure is expected to experience during an earthquake. Accurately defining this input is essential for assessing structural response, ensuring safety, and guiding endurable structural design. Despite its fundamental role, this aspect of structural analysis is often treated briefly in engineering education and literature, due in part to its inherent complexity and the interdisciplinary knowledge it demands.
Calculation of Seismic Actions for Structural Analysis—Methodological Approaches and Experiences addresses this issue with clarity, rigour, and a strong pedagogical focus. It offers a comprehensive exploration of the methodologies used to calculate seismic input, framed within a broader conceptual and methodological discussion that makes the material accessible to readers with diverse academic backgrounds.
