Seismic Vulnerability of Structures (ISTE)

It is clear that the majority of urban centers is composed of old buildings, designed according to the concepts and rules inadequate to seismic context. How to assess the vulnerability of existing buildings is an essential step to improve the management of seismic risk and its prevention policy. After some key reminders, this book describes seismic vulnerability methods applied to a large number of structures (buildings and bridges) in moderate (France, Switzerland) and strong seismic prone regions (Italy, Greece).

Seismic Vulnerability of Structures

Earthquakes are one of the natural phenomena that, for a long time, has significantly affected the imagination of human beings. Indeed, earthquakes are sharp and sudden, and in a few moments the victims can be counted in thousands. They bore an even more mysterious character as they would undermine the innate beliefs of man in an unmoving Earth. Even if the physical origins of earthquakes are better understood today, the power of their vibrations is still sometimes astonishing. Those who have experienced a moderate or strong earthquake in a reinforced concrete building are frightened by the ease with which the walls and floors oscillate; this disturbs the faith of modern man in the robustness of the constructions of reinforced concrete.
