Specifikacia Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes?: Building for Safety in Seismic Areas Spence Robin
Using the experienced gained from many years as members of the UK's Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) the authors will explain how buildings have fared in recent earthquakes around the world. Using empirical evidence and analyses they will show:why buildings have collapsedthe way buildings collapse in earthquakeswhich building types are the main cause of casualties in earthquakesThey will illustrate the key lessons learnt about failures as well as successes in earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness and will review what is being done to reduce vulnerability to
