Handbook of seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems reviews the state of the art in the seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems.Part one reviews research in the quantification of uncertainties in ground motion and seismic hazard assessment. Part twi discusses methodologies in seismic risk analysis and management, whilst parts three and four cover the application of seismic risk assessment to buildings, bridges, pipelines and other civil infrastructure systems. Part five also discusses methods for quantifying dependency between different infrastructure systems. The final part of the book considers ways of assessing financial and other losses from earthquake damage as well as setting insurance rates.Handbook of seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems is an invaluable guide for professionals requiring understanding of the impact of earthquakes on buildings and lifelines, and the seismic risk assessment and management of buildings, bridges and transportation. It also provides a comprehensive overview of seismic risk analysis for researchers and engineers within these fields. 912 pp. Englisch.

Descrizione articolo

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.
