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, …

"The United States will certainly be subject to damaging earthquakes in the future. Some of these earthquakes will occur in highly populated and vulnerable areas. Coping with moderate earthquakes is not a reliable indicator of preparedness for a major earthquake in a populated a…
Devastating seismic events occurring all over the world keep raising the awareness of the scientific, technical and political communities to the need of identifying assets at risk and developing more effective and cost-efficient seismic risk mitigation strategies. Significant ad…
The first edition of this monograph, presenting accurate and efficient simulations of seismic damage to buildings and cities, has received significant attention from the research community. To keep abreast of the rapid development in recent years, our latest breakthrough achieve…
"Written by one of the world's foremost authorities on concrete dams, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the analysis, response, design and safety evaluation of concrete dams under earthquake loading, for professional engineers and regulatory bodies"-
A comprehensive guide to modern-day methods for earthquake engineering of concrete dams Earthquake analysis and design of concrete dams has progressed from static force methods based on seismic coefficients to modern procedures that are based on the dynamics of dam-water-foundat…
