Riassunto

Earthquakes remain one of the major risks to buildings, bridges and other components of civil infrastructure. The editors and contributors summarize the wealth of recent research in this important book. The first two parts review research in the analysis of ground motion and seismic hazard assessment and discuss different seismic risk hazard methodologies. Parts three and four cover the assessment of seismic risks to buildings, bridges, water supply systems and other aspects of civil infrastructure and the conclusion considers ways of assessing financial and other losses from earthquake damage.
