Seismic loading

 ( Earthquake And Seismic Risk Mitigation ) 

Seismic loading is one of the basic concepts of earthquake engineering which means application of an earthquake-generated agitation

to a structure. It happens at contact surfaces of a structure either with the ground, The Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Portal or with adjacent structures, Seismic Pounding between Adjacent Building Structures or with from tsunami.

Seismic loading depends, primarily, on:

• Anticipated earthquake's parameters at the site – known as seismic hazard
• Geotechnical parameters of the site
• Structure's parameters
• Characteristics of the anticipated from tsunami (if applicable).

Sometimes, seismic load exceeds ability of a structure to resist it without being broken, partially or completely Due to their mutual interaction, seismic loading and seismic performance of a structure are intimately related.
