This work has two principal objectives. One is to analyze the main problems that the modern earthquake engineer faces today and describe the innovative approaches that have been proposed for their solution. The other is to present a detailed analysis of some selected modern topics in earthquake engineering. These include vulnerability evaluation of masonry and reinforced concrete buildings, historical monuments, churches and bell towers. A part is devoted to the preservation of the new concept of damage controlled seismic design including modelling and experimental testing of damping devices. Another part deals with the analysis of the seismological characteristics of a recent seismic sequence and its effects on an area of rich cultural heritage.
With reference to the first objective the book presents the characteristics of a review work, but also of a vademecum, because of the profound analysis of the problems, the innovative aspects of the solutions and the vast literature selection. With reference to the second objective, the work stands midway between a research report and a textbook because it is mostly self-contained, the proposed methods are readily applicable in the solution of actual problems by the practicing engineering community but are also characterized by their novelty and thoroughness. Because of these characteristics the book is rather unique in the literature on Structural Earthquake Engineering.
