Over the life of a structure, the smaller but more frequent earthquakes contribute more to the cumulative damage than the larger earthquakes on which structural design is traditionally based. This is a quantitative argument in favour of designing structures beyond what the codes require for life-safety.This book presents a computational method to evaluate the damage sustained by a building over its lifetime in a seismic environment. The ability to estimate future damage is relevant to a pair of current trends in earthquake engineering: a growing interest for preventing damage on top of protect

The book Earthquake Engineering - From Engineering Seismology to Optimal Seismic Design of Engineering Structures contains fifteen chapters written by researchers and experts in the fields of earthquake and structural engineering. This book provides the state-of-the-art on recent progress in the field of seimology, earthquake engineering and structural engineering. The book should be useful to graduate students, researchers and practicing structural engineers. It deals with seismicity, seismic hazard assessment and system oriented emergency response for abrupt earthquake disaster, the nature and the components of strong ground motions and several other interesting topics, such as dam-induced earthquakes, seismic stability of slopes and landslides. The book also tackles the dynamic response of underground pipes to blast loads, the optimal seismic design of RC multi-storey buildings, the finite-element analysis of cable-stayed bridges under strong ground motions and the acute psychiatric trauma intervention due to earthquakes.

Comprises a selection of articles on interactions between earthquakes and the soil in which they propagate. The book is concerned with soil composition and geomechanical features, which affect earthquake propagation and intensity; it also addresses detrimental effects of seismic shaking on soil properties and stability.

Proceedings of the Second ATC & SEI Conference on Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures, held in San Francisco, California, December 10-12, 2015. Sponsored by the Applied Technology Council and the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 67 papers on the tools, techniques, and innovations available to assist engineers in meeting the challenges of seismic evaluation and rehabilitation. Topics include: resilience and mitigation programs; innovative use of new technologies and materials; historic structures; managing risk; concrete structures; wood soft story; socio-economic issues; and implementation case studies. This proceedings will be valuable to practitioners and researchers working in all aspects of seismic evaluation and rehabilitation.
