Book Description:
Since the publication of the successful first edition of Earthquake Protection there have been 110 lethal earthquakes, killing 130 000 people; there have also been significant developments in the field of earthquake risk management, particularly in the modelling and analysis of risk for insurance and financial services. Furthermore, major earthquake disasters, such as the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan and the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have occurred. The experience and knowledge gained through these events have improved our understanding of how to manage, mitigate and work towards the prevention of similar catastrophes. The 1990s were in fact the costliest decade on record in terms of disaster management due to such seismic events, placing unprecedented pressure on the insurance industry in particular, and changing its view of earthquake protection.
Significantly revised and updated, this second edition continues to provide a comprehensive overview of how to reduce the impact of earthquakes on people and property, and implement best practice in managing the consequences of such disasters. It also includes significant coverage of the techniques of modelling earthquake catastrophe. Each chapter deals with a separate aspect of protection, and covers a wide range of economic and social conditions, drawing on the authors' considerable personal experience and with reference to real life examples.
Key features include:
* Recent event coverage
* Modern developments in the theory and practice of planning and engineering loss estimation techniques, along with new engineering techniques such as microzonation and hazard-mapping
* Historic buildings experience
* An entirely new chapter on 'Earthquakes and Finance'
This valuable book provides essential reading for earthquake and structural engineers and geoscientists, as well as insurers and loss prevention specialists, risk managers and assessors involved in managing earthquake risk, urban and regional planners, and emergency management agencies.

Product Description:
Unless the geological, tectonic, seismological and engineering aspects of earthquakes are mastered, constructions will never be safe. A thorough knowledge of earthquake geodynamics is also vital if the safety/cost ratio of all constructions is to be increased.
Containing contributions from renowned geoscientists with first-hand experience, this book discusses various aspects of earthquake geodynamics in seismically active regions. The chapters include lessons learnt from earthquakes that have struck urban areas during the past two decades and cover a wide variety of topics including the analysis of seismic sequences, the study of surficial deformation and geophysical techniques for microzonation purposes.

Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance
By Norbert Delatte
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 372
* Publication Date: 2007-10-30
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415409705
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415409704
* Binding: Hardcover
From the Publisher:
A pavement project may be envisioned as a three-link chain, consisting of materials, design, and construction. The weakest link governs the performance of the system - therefore engineers must be knowledgeable about all three aspects as well as their interactions. Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance is organized in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined and the desired performance and behavior parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are selected and the desired concrete proportions determined. Once the materials are known the design can be completed. Finally, the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable facility are provided. Pavement management, maintenance, rehabilitation, and overlays are also addressed.
