Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures

Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures covers recent developments in the area of seismic performance assessment of structures. Divided into four parts, the book evaluates earthquake-induced damage, repair costs of structural and non-structural components, building demolition, and seismic damage mitigation strategies. With contributions from the leading experts in the field, this book is for earthquake and structural engineers and PhD students studying civil engineering and for those who understand that design and damage mitigation of structures that have limited structural or non-structural damage in a seismic event can be easy to inspect and repair for quick reoccupation.Earthquakes are one of the main natural hazards that could directly cause damages to or collapse of structures, resulting in significant economic and human life losses. In the event of an earthquake where many buildings and infrastructure components are not able to function afterward, or if extensive repair and associated disruption are needed, it can be very costly and take a long time to resolve. Provides effective and economical methods to assess the seismic performance of structures Analyzes earthquake damage and costs to repair or demolish buildings Offers future needs for constructing seismic resistant structures INDICE: 1. Earthquake-Induced damage evaluation and repairs in structures2. Repair costs of structural and non-structural components3. Building demolition and cost4. Seismic damage mitigation strategies
