Brief review of modern earthquake engineering
"Working group on information on earthquake engineering" for International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering
Abstract
This review is a brief survey of the present status of Earthquake Engineering. It contains information on earthquake hazards, main Earthquake Engineering problems, safety of structures under the action of earthquakes, Earthquake Engineering research and education, and international collaboration.
The review is prepared in accordance with a decision by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering to set up a working group for dealing with “Information on Earthquake Engineering”. The decision to create this working group was supported by the "Comite de Liaison", which co-ordinates the activity of several international associations dealing with Structural Engineering, such as the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, the European Committee for Concrete, the International Federation for Prestressing, the International Council for Building Research Studies and Documentation, the European Convention of the Associations for Steel Construction, and the International Association for Shell Structures.
