    This document provides an overview of earthquake engineering basics, including the causes of earthquakes via plate tectonics and the elastic rebound theory. It describes different types of seismic waves and their propagation, as well as factors that determine the magnitude and intensity of earthquakes. Various seismic hazards like ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides, and tsunamis are covered. The effects of seismic waves on structures and considerations for earthquake-resistant design like ductility are discussed. The conclusion emphasizes minimizing earthquake damage through construction of earthquake-resistant buildings.
