In recent years, a number of disasters caused by earthquakes have
demonstrated the vulnerability of both the developing and the
developed world. This book provides new research on earthquakes.
Chapter One focuses on the behavior of a simple spring-block model
from the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics and seismology. Chapter
Two employs a new technique based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM)
for determination of liquefaction susceptibility of soil based on
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Cone Penetration Test (CPT)
from the Chi-Chi earthquake. Chapter Three presents a review of
earthquake phenomenon in Nigeria, the occurrence and available
data. Chapter Four describes the behavior and failure mechanisms of
unreinforced masonry buildings and different rehabilitation and
strengthening techniques. Chapter Five presents the results related
to the preferred sources of information related to Risk, Hazard and
Natural disaster. Chapter Six presents results regarding urban and
semi-rural schoolchildren's seismic risk perception, awareness and
preparedness of a highly seismic region, in the state of Oaxaca,
Mexico. Chapter Seven reviews the anomalous decrease in groundwater
radon before the Taiwan large earthquakes.
