As a result of the Northridge, California and Kobe earthquakes, engineers and loss control specialists are more concerned about mitigating the effects of earthquakes on buildings in areas of seismic risk. This volume offers a comprehensive, integrated treatment of earthquake risk analysis and mitigation. It provides a resource for engineers who assess the seismic hazards of buildings and gives guidance in both measuring the degree of risk and reducing risks through design.
