Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure: Neodeterministic
(NDSHA) Approach Guarantees Prevention Rather Than Cure
communicates in one comprehensive volume the state-of-the-art
scientific knowledge on earthquakes and related risks. Earthquakes
occur in a seemingly random way and, in some cases, it is possible
to trace seismicity back to the concept of deterministic chaos.
Therefore, seismicity can be explained by a deterministic mechanism
that arises as a result of various convection movements in the
Earth's mantle, expressed in the modern movement of lithospheric
plates fueled by tidal forces. Consequently, to move from a
perspective focused on the response to emergencies to a new
perspective based on prevention and sustainability, it is necessary
to follow this neodeterministic approach (NDSHA) to guarantee
prevention, saving lives and infrastructure. This book describes in
a complete and consistent way an effective explanation to complex
structures, systems, and components, and prescribes solutions to
practical challenges. It reflects the scientific novelty and
promises a feasible, workable, theoretical and applicative
attitude. Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure serves a
"commentary role" for developers and designers of critical
infrastructure and unique installations. Commentary-like roles
follow standard, where there is no standard. Mega-installations
embody/potentiate risks; nonetheless, lack a comprehensive classic
standard. Every compound is unique, one of its kind, and differs
from others even of similar function. There is no justification to
elaborate a common standard for unique entities. On the other hand,
these specific installations, for example, NPPs, Naval Ports, Suez
Canal, HazMat production sites, and nuclear waste deposits, impose
security and safety challenges to people and the environment. The
book offers a benchmark for entrepreneurs, designers, constructors,
and operators on how to compile diverse relevant information on
site-effects and integrate it into the best-educated guess to keep
safe and secure, people and environment. The authors are eager to
convey the entire information and explanations to our readers,
without missing either accurate information or explanations. That
is achieved by "miniaturization," as much is possible, not
minimization. So far, the neodeterministic method has been
successfully applied in numerous metropolitan areas and regions
such as Delhi (India), Beijing (China), Naples (Italy), Algiers
(Algeria), Cairo (Egypt), Santiago de Cuba (Cuba), Thessaloniki
(Greece), South-East Asia (2004), Tohoku, Japan (2011), Albania
(2019), Bangladesh, Iran, Sumatra, Ecuador, and elsewhere.
Earthquakes and Sustainable Infrastructure includes case studies
from these areas, as well as suggested applications to other
seismically active areas around the globe. NDSHA approaches
confirm/validate that science is looming to warn. Concurrently,
leaders and practitioners have to learn to use rectified science in
favor of peoples' safety. State-of-the-art science does have the
know-how to reduce casualties and structural damage from potential
catastrophes to a bearable incident.
