This book summarizes the most essential concepts that every engineer designing a new building or evaluating an existing structure should consider to control the damage caused by drift (deformation) induced by earthquakes.

Santiago Pujol is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Canterbury. Prior to moving to New Zealand, he was Professor of Civil Engineering at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University. His experience includes earthquake engineering, evaluation and strengthening of existing structures, response of reinforced concrete to impulsive loads and earthquake demands, instrumentation and testing of structures, and failure investigations. He is a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and member of ACI committees 445 (Torsion and Shear), 314 (Simplified Design), 133 (Disaster Reconnaissance), 318F (Foundations), and 318W (Design for Wind). He is also member of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), associate editor of Earthquake Spectra, and founder of datacenterhub.org (a site funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and dedicated to the systematic collection of research data). He received the Chester Paul Siess Award for Excellence in Structural Research from ACI, the Educational Award from Architectural Institute of Japan, and the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

Ayhan Irfanoglu is a Professor and Associate Head of Civil Engineering at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University. His research and teaching interests are in earthquake engineering, structural dynamics and modeling, engineering seismology, and classical methods of structural analysis. He is a member of ACI committees 314 (Simplified Design) and 133 (Disaster Reconnaissance). He is an associate editor of the ASCE Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities.

Aishwarya Puranam is Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, National Taiwan University. Her research interests are behavior of reinforced concrete, design, evaluation, and retrofit of buildings to resist earthquake demands, and large-scale experiments. She received the President's Fellowship from the American Concrete Institute in 2016, and the Best Dissertation Award from Purdue University in 2018.
