This collection focuses on the development of novel approaches to
address one of the most pressing challenges of civil engineering,
namely the mitigation of natural hazards. Numerous engineering
books to date have focused on, and illustrate considerable progress
toward, mitigation of individual hazards (earthquakes, wind, and so
forth.). The current volume addresses concerns related to overall
safety, sustainability and resilience of the built environment when
subject to multiple hazards: natural disaster events that are
concurrent and either correlated (e.g., wind and surge);
uncorrelated (e.g., earthquake and flood); cascading (e.g., fire
following earthquake); or uncorrelated and occurring at different
times (e.g., wind and earthquake). The authors examine a range of
specific topics including methodologies for vulnerability
assessment of structures, new techniques to reduce the system
demands through control systems; instrumentation, monitoring and
condition assessment of structures and foundations; new techniques
for repairing structures that have suffered damage during past
events, or for structures that have been found in need of
strengthening; development of new design provisions that consider
multiple hazards, as well as questions from law and the humanities
relevant to the management of natural and human-made hazards.
