Protection of Built Environment Against Earthquakes

Observed high losses throughout the world indicate that the risk due to earthquake hazard is still high and that it may even increase due to rapid population growth in the urban areas and ageing process of build environment. Therefore it is important to further develop methods, techniques and tools to achieve more accurate design and better preparedness, which are the key elements for successful protection of build environment against earthquakes. In order to contribute to the solution of the described issue the Institute of Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering and Construction IT or.

  • "Current knowledge and state-of-the-art developments in topics related to the seismic performance and risk assessment of different types of structures and building stock are addressed in the book, with emphasis on probabilistic methods. The first part addresses the global risk components, as well as seismic hazard and ground motions, whereas the second, more extensive part presents recent advances in methods and tools for the seismic performance and risk assessment of structures. The book contains examples of steel, masonry and reinforced concrete buildings, as well as some examples related to various types of infrastructure, such as bridges and concrete gravity dams. The book's aim is to make a contribution towards the mitigation of seismic risk by presenting advanced methods and tools which can be used to achieve well-informed decision-making, this being the key element for the future protection of the built environment against earthquakes. Audience:This book will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate students and practicing engineers working in the fields of natural hazards, earthquake, structural and geotechnical engineering, and computational mechanics, but it may also be attractive to other experts working in the fields related to social and economic impact of earthquakes."
