Abstract
The resistance of engineering structures to earthquake forces has been studied by engineers in the past but revived interest in the subject is evidenced since the Japanese earthquake of September, 19 23, and the Santa Barbara earthquake of June, 1925. The Japanese seismologists and engineers, in particular, have been making intensive studies of the effect of earthquake shocks on structures for many years, and the results of their studies have been published in the Transactions of the Seismological Society of Japan. The writings of the late F. Omori, in particular, have become classics in earthquake literature.
