seismic loads

Introduction

The seismic load is a concept used in seismic engineering that defines the actions that an earthquake causes on the structure of a building and that must be supported by it.[1] They are transmitted through the ground,[2] the adjacent structures or the impact of the waves of tidal waves.[3].

Quantification of seismic loads

The structure of a building must resist different actions at the same time, such as its own weight, the overweight of the occupation, the wind... The particularities of the actions of an earthquake make it difficult to combine a calculation with all the actions at the same time, which is why in the calculation conventional loads are usually used as seismic loads that would produce the same damage to the building as the earthquake. These seismic loads are generally calculated in two ways:

The sizing of seismic loads for a given structure depends mainly on:
