Earthquakes continue to pose a serious threat to human life around the world, and there is ever increasing need for reliable engineering solutions to mitigate their effects on human habitation and structures. This book presents new perspectives on earthquake engineering from experts around the world. In the first part, the design of earthquake-resistant structures is explored through topics including seismic reliability analysis of bridge designs, seismic strengthening of reinforced buildings, and civil engineering. In the second part, topics including cognitive approaches to earthquake engineering and the modelling of laminated rubber bearings are discussed. Finally, in part three, a range of new advances in engineering, with a focus on soil liquefaction and the safety of dams and monuments, are presented and reviewed. Topics discussed include analysis and protection of underground monumental structures, numerical analysis of deformation of earth-filled dams and approaches to the safety analysis of dam structures. The book draws on both theoretical studies and field research to offer an excellent text for students, researchers and professional engineers engaged in engineering and construction problems with seismic dimensions.
