Dear deadlord, earthquake engineering is not a independant discipline. It needs some other knowledge like structural engineering, concrete or steel structure design,...wich are not very simple to understand alone, it needs engineering courses, practise....
But let me suppose that you have this knowledge, then to start, I suggest you to read some courses concerning strutural dynamics, how to find natural frequencies, natural modes of vibration and then different method to calculate displacement in plastic domain, and general consideration in earthquake resistent structures
after that, you can focuse on codes such as Eurocode 8.
Good luck
