Providing the first worldwide survey of active earthquake faults,
this book focuses on those described as 'seismic time bombs' - with
the potential to destroy large cities in the developing world such
as Port au Prince, Kabul, Tehran and Caracas. Leading international
earthquake expert, Robert Yeats, explores both the regional and
plate-tectonic context of active faults, providing the background
for seismic hazard evaluation in planning large-scale projects such
as nuclear power plants or hydroelectric dams. He also highlights
work done in more advanced seismogenic countries like Japan, the
United States, New Zealand and China, providing an important basis
for upgrading building standards and other laws in developing
nations. The book also explores the impact of major quakes on
social development through history. It will form an accessible
reference for analysts and consulting firms, and a convenient
overview for academics and students of geoscience, geotechnical
engineering and civil engineering, and land-use planning.
