Subject: Investigating robust and stiff materials in relation to seismic tremors
I am investigating robust and stiff materials in relation to seismic tremors caused by earthquakes. I believe the ASCE codes are the most appropriate standards to follow, given their comprehensive coverage of civil engineering construction practices. My question is: What is the most recommended area of research in earthquake-resistant architecture, and which detailed ASCE code should be prioritized for this purpose?
