An earthquake is a strong surface acoustic wave (SAW) created by seismic events, such as volcanic activity or movement within the Earth's layers, that travels across the Earth's surface. This book explores the design of earthquake-resistant structures using SAW methods, providing a range of experimental setups and theoretical models. It focuses on the creation of protective systems designed to absorb or redirect SAW energy, particularly for buildings or communities situated in earthquake-prone areas, distinguishing it from other seismology-related books.
