Earthquake and tsunami disasters have been increasing rapidly and
globally in the last quarter-century. The purpose of this book is
to provide essential knowledge and information on the mitigation of
earthquakes and tsunamis for graduate students, young researchers,
and geotechnical engineers. It begins by presenting recent cases of
earthquakes that have occurred in the world, referring to tsunamis
and soil liquefaction and how to cope with such disasters. The
final chapter proposes strategies for disaster mitigation against
in Japan earthquakes and tsunamis in the future.

Represents the State of the Art in Urban Lifeline Engineering Urban
lifelines are buried or aboveground network systems used for water,
sewerage, gas, power, and telecommunications. Dedicated to
preserving the functions of lifeline systems against natural
disasters, the Critical Urban Infrastructure Handbook is a vital
compilation of urban utility management. This text utilizes the
input of leading experts who have extensive experience with natural
disasters, and provides a better understanding of the technical and
legal framework of infrastructure construction and operation.
Examine the Damage Data of Urban Lifelines Suffered by Seismic
Disasters The book addresses water supply and sewerage, power, gas,
telecommunications joint utility corridor lifeline facilities, and
other critical civil infrastructure lifelines. It emphasizes the
importance of the resilience of lifeline systems against natural
disasters in protecting human lives and supporting survivors of
disasters as well as in promptly recovering and reconstructing the
affected areas. In addition, it also describes the structural
damage of nodes and links, as well as the functional damage of the
lifeline system from the viewpoint of disaster prevention and
mitigation measures. This valuable work consists of 24 chapters in
four sections covering: Design and construction of various lifeline
facilities Maintenance Disaster management Environmental protection
Disaster and emergency recovery measures Urban planning Life cycle
costing GIS analysis of lifeline systems Computerized integrated
management systems New materials and technologies The Critical
Urban Infrastructure Handbook comprehensively describes common
issues of lifeline systems, and provides practical information to
engineers and industry professionals involved in the planning,
construction, and maintenance of lifeline systems.
