"This book introduces important concepts in the study of earthquakes as they relate to the retrofitting of structures to be earthquakeresistant. It investigates the pounding effects for base isolated buildings, the soil structure interaction effects on adjacent buildings conside…
This book includes a collection of state-of-the-art contributions addressing both theoretical developments in, and successful applications of, seismic structural health monitoring (S2HM). Over the past few decades, Seismic SHM has expanded considerably, due to the growing demand…

Earthquake ground motions are at the interface of two disciplines - seismologists predict them, and engineers use them. Oftentimes, engineers do not understand the limitations of ground motion prediction, and seismologists do not understand the effect of ground motions on struct…
Since the mid-1970s advances in the various techniques for seismic retrofitting have been made and put into practice. This report reviews and introduces the latest design concepts and methods throughout the world, with emphasis on the use of fastening systems.
