tailieunhanh - The ENGINEERING SEISMOLOGY, GEOTECHNICAL AND STRUCTURAL EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING

The mitigation of earthquake-related hazards represents a key role in the modern society. The mitigation of such kind of hazards spans from detailed studies on seismicity, evaluation of site effects, and seismo-induced landslides, tsunamis as well as and the design and analysis of structures to resist such actions. The study of earthquakes ties together science, technology and expertise in infrastructure and engineering in an effort to minimize human and material losses when they inevitably occur. Chapters deal with different topics aiming to mitigate geo-hazards such as: Seismic hazard analysis, Ground investigation for seismic design, Seismic design, as‐ sessment and remediation, Earthquake site . | ENGINEERING SEISMOLOGY GEOTECHNICAL AND STRUCTURAL EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING Edited by Sebastiano D Amico Engineering Seismology Geotechnical and Structural Earthquake Engineering http 3361 Edited by Sebastiano D Amico Contributors Babak Ebrahimian Chris Mullen Sayed Mohamed Hemeda Vincenzo Gattulli Alessandro Contento Concettina Nunziata Maria Rosaria Costanzo Veronica Gambale Won Sang Lee Joohan Lee Sinae Han Alejandro Ramirez-Gaytan Vitaly Yurtaev Juan Carlos Vielma Perez Alex Barbat Ronald Ugel Reyes Indira Herrera Sebastiano D Amico Giuseppe Lombardo Francesco Panzera Pauline Galea Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2013 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
