  • Seismic Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Structures

    Edited by Alper Ilki, Michael N. Fardis ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In the past, facilities considered to be at the end of their useful life were demolished and replaced with new ones that better met the functional requirements of modern society, including new safety standards. Humankind has recently recognised the threats to the environment and to our limited natural resources due to our relentless determination to destroy the old and build anew. With the ... Read more

  • Advances in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

    Edited by Michael N. Fardis ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Performance-based Earthquake Engineering has emerged before the turn of the century as the most important development in the field of Earthquake Engineering during the last three decades. It has since then started penetrating codes and standards on seismic assessment and retrofitting and making headway towards seismic design standards for new structures as well. The US have been a leader in ... Read more

  • Innovative Materials and Techniques in Concrete Construction

    ACES Workshop

    Edited by Michael N. Fardis ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Recent years have seen enormous advances in the technology of concrete as a material, through which its strength, compactness and ductility can reach levels never dreamed of before. Thanks to these improved material properties, the strength and durability of concrete structures is greatly improved, their weight and dimensions reduced, the scope of concrete as a structural material is widened and – ...

  • Role of Seismic Testing Facilities in Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

    SERIES Workshop

    Edited by Zoran T. Rakicevic, Michael N. Fardis ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Nowadays research in earthquake engineering is mainly experimental and in large-scale; advanced computations are integrated with large-scale experiments, to complement them and extend their scope, even by coupling two different but simultaneous tests. Earthquake engineering cannot give answers by testing and qualifying few, small typical components or single large prototypes. Besides, the large ... Read more

  • Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures

    Edited by Oren Lavan, Mario De Stefano ...
    Series Book 24 - Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering
    Structural irregularities are one of the most frequent causes of severe damages in buildings, as evidenced by the numerous earthquakes in recent years. This issue is of particular importance, since real structures are almost all irregular. Furthermore, structural irregularities depend on several factors often very difficult to predict. This book is an essential tool for understanding the problem ... Read more

  • Seismic Risk Assessment and Retrofitting

    With Special Emphasis on Existing Low Rise Structures

    Edited by Alper Ilki, Faruk Karadogan, Sumru Pala, Ercan Yuksel ...
    Series Book 10 - Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering
    Many more people are coming to live in earthquake-prone areas, especially urban ones. Many such areas contain low-rise, low-cost housing, while little money is available to retrofit the buildings to avoid total collapse and thus potentially save lives. The lack of money, especially in developing countries, is exacerbated by difficulties with administration, implementation and public awareness.The ... Read more
