Project planning is the overall process of defining the objectives, scope, tasks, necessary resources, budget and schedule of a project to ensure its success.

It is based on a process philosophy, namely the breakdown of work, task scheduling, resource allocation, risk identification, etc., resulting in the development of a provisional schedule visualised using projection, implementation and control tools such as PERT and Gantt charts.

Earthquake engineering is a branch of civil engineering that aims to design and build structures capable of withstanding earthquakes and minimizing damage and loss of life.

It relies on knowledge of structural dynamics, geotechnics, and materials to develop innovative and effective solutions. The goal is to protect buildings, infrastructure, and communities from the devastating effects of earthquakes.

In this section, we will focus on aspects concerning the dynamic response of structures and the determination of forces.
