Earthquake Spectra, the professional journal of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI),
is published quarterly in both printed and online editions in February, May, August, and November.
The printed edition is sent to EERI members as part of their membership benefits.
EERI established Earthquake Spectra with the purpose of improving the practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery.
It is intended to serve the informational needs of the diverse professionals engaged in
earthquake loss reduction: civil, geotechnical, mechanical, and structural engineers; geologists, seismologists,
and other earth scientists; architects and city planners; public officials; social scientists; and researchers in all these disciplines.
Spectra serves as the publication of record for the development of earthquake engineering practice, earthquake codes and regulations,
earthquake public policy, and earthquake investigation reports. Manuscripts published in Earthquake Spectra are peer reviewed.
Periodically, EERI publishes special issues of Earthquake Spectra, either as theme issues or as reconnaissance reports on major earthquakes.

Product Description:
Spanish Colonial missions and Mexican rancho and pueblo adobe structures are among California's earliest existing structures and the only above-ground remains of the state's original settlement by the Spanish and Mexican people. The Northridge earthquake brought about tragic losses to a number of these historic buildings. It also provided a rare opportunity to assess the damage that can occur as the result of a large earthquake. As part of the Getty Conservation Institute's commitment to researching conservation measures for adobe structures, this study surveys the damage to the buildings and evaluates their seismic performance. The ultimate goal is to use the lessons learned from this earthquake and the retrofit research to help understand and so limit the risks earthquakes pose to these treasures in the future.

Safer Homes, Stronger Communities: A Handbook for Reconstructing After Natural Disasters
By Abhas K. Jha, with Jennifer Duyne Barenstein, Priscilla M. Phelps, Daniel Pittet, Stephen Sena
* Publisher: World Bank Publications
* Number Of Pages: 404
* Publication Date: 2010-01-15
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0821380451
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780821380451
* Subject: Building | Construction | Residential Reconstruction | Architecture | Natural Disaster Effects | Earthquakes | Seismic Studies |
Product Description:
Best practices in post-disaster housing and community reconstruction are constantly evolving. Technology is changing how reconstruction is done, as is the frequency and severity of the disasters themselves. Reconstruction projects are increasingly focused on the need to reduce future risks by ensuring that what is rebuilt is safer and more disaster-resilient than what was there before. The expanding role of communities in managing community reconstruction, with financial and technical assistance from government, is another way reconstruction is changing. Safer Homes, Stronger Communities: A Handbook for Reconstructing after Natural Disasters provides advice on how to ensure that reconstruction empowers communities to rebuild, and gives them the support they need to build back in a way that the risk of future disasters is greatly reduced. Written for policy makers and project managers engaged in major housing and community reconstruction programs, the handbook provides guidance on the roles and responsibilities of various actors, and explains what the scope of a reconstruction policy should be and how decisions in each aspect of reconstruction contribute to larger reconstruction goals. For project managers who will be charged with implementing reconstruction policy, the handbook provides guidance on the options that should be considered in each aspect of reconstruction, and examples of where they have been used in other reconstruction projects. It includes more than one hundred short case studies collected from global experts with recent experience in housing reconstruction, that illustrate how the policies and practical ideas have been used on the ground. It also includes links to extensive technical information on the topics covered by the handbook.
Safer Homes, Stronger Communities is a handbook that gives policy makers and project managers the information they need to plan and carry out housing and community reconstruction projects that empower communities affected by disasters and that reduce their vulnerability to future disasters. Designed to provide immediate guidance in post-disaster reconstruction settings, Safer Homes, Stronger Communities is a vital resource for policy makers and project managers, and for all practitioners involved in post-disaster housing and community reconstruction and disaster risk management.

Product Description:
Composites are used extensively in engineering applications. A constant concern is the effect of foreign object impacts on composite structures because significant damage can occur and yet be undetectable by visual inspection. Such impacts can range from the most ordinary at low velocity--a tool dropped on a product--to the hypervelocity impact of space debris on a spacecraft. This book explains how damage develops during impact, the effect of impact-induced damage on the mechanical behavior of structures, and methods of damage prediction and detection. Numerous examples are included to illustrate these topics. Written for graduate students, as well as researchers and practicing engineers working with composite materials, this book presents state-of-the-art knowledge on impact dynamics while requiring only basic understanding of the mechanics of composite materials.
• First book on a rapidly expanding field of study • Comprehensive coverage of the subject • Presents state-of-the-art knowledge but requires only a basic understanding of the mechanics of composite materials
Contents
1. Introduction; 2. Contact laws; 3. Impact dynamics; 4. Low velocity impact damage; 5. Damage prediction; 6. Residual properties; 7. Ballistic impact; 8. Repairs; 9. Impact on sandwich structures; References.
Reviews
‘This is one of the first books totally devoted to impact on composite structures. Composites have become of increasing importance in structures since the 1940s, and today many structural elements are manufactured from them, particularly in the aerospace industries … this is an excellent book for any advanced student or researcher.’ Bradley Dodd, The Times Higher Education Supplement
‘This book offers a good overview of the many aspects of this important topic by a single author and is supported by extensive references. The book essentially achieves the aim of providing a comprehensive review of current knowledge in this field … the book is a useful addition to the literature and should provide a good source of reference for both research workers and practising engineers. The book gives value for money for the specialist.’ Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
‘This book succeeds as a 'state-of-the-art' text … The book is very nicely presented and reads well. I recommend it to civil, structural, aerospace, naval, architectural and automobile engineers …’. Structural Engineer
