Abstract
This study concentrates on the assessment of the structural damages caused by the Aqaba earthquake and attempts to give a better understanding of the geological, geotechnical and structural response following an earthquake event, through focusing on the understanding of the dynamic response of local site conditions to strong shaking and assessing structural performance. Furthermore, this paper calls for future efforts toward enforcing the seismic code provisions for all structures and improving the construction practices in a seismic prone region.
