Fundamentals of Earthquake Engineering: From Source to Fragility,
Second Edition combines aspects of engineering seismology,
structural and geotechnical earthquake engineering to assemble the
vital components required for a deep understanding of response of
structures to earthquake ground motion, from the seismic source to
the evaluation of actions and deformation required for design, and
culminating with probabilistic fragility analysis that applies to
individual as well as groups of buildings. Basic concepts for
accounting for the effects of soil-structure interaction effects in
seismic design and assessment are also provided in this second
edition. The nature of earthquake risk assessment is inherently
multi-disciplinary. Whereas this book addresses only structural
safety assessment and design, the problem is cast in its
appropriate context by relating structural damage states to
societal consequences and expectations, through the fundamental
response quantities of stiffness, strength and ductility. This new
edition includes material on the nature of earthquake sources and
mechanisms, various methods for the characterization of earthquake
input motion, effects of soil-structure interaction, damage
observed in reconnaissance missions, modeling of structures for the
purposes of response simulation, definition of performance limit
states, fragility relationships derivation, features and effects of
underlying soil, structural and architectural systems for optimal
seismic response, and action and deformation quantities suitable
for design. Key features: * Unified and novel approach: from source
to fragility * Clear conceptual framework for structural response
analysis, earthquake input characterization, modelling of
soil-structure interaction and derivation of fragility functions *
Theory and relevant practical applications are merged within each
chapter * Contains a new chapter on the derivation of fragility *
Accompanied by a website containing illustrative slides, problems
with solutions and worked-through examples Fundamentals of
Earthquake Engineering: From Source to Fragility, Second Edition is
designed to support graduate teaching and learning, introduce
practising structural and geotechnical engineers to earthquake
analysis and design problems, as well as being a reference book for
further studies.
