Seismic Engineering: Progress and Challenges The field of Earthquake Engineering has advanced significantly in recent decades, enabling highly reliable protection for new buildings constructed under modern seismic codes. However, the majority of existing structures were built during periods with: Limited seismic knowledge Less stringent construction standards Inadequate supervision Resulting Vulnerabilities: ⚠️ Low seismic resistance ⚠️ Reduced stiffness/ductility ⚠️ Presence of weak stories (soft-story collapse mechanism) These deficiencies were tragically demonstrated during the 1999 Athens earthquake, where numerous building collapses occurred.
