This book looks at the earthquake-resistant design of buildings in areas of high seismic risk. It covers the implications of historic earthquakes on the built environment, and the new lessons learned from recent earthquakes including the October 1989 earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area. New data is presented in the repair and retrofit of earthquake damaged buildings, the identification of existing hazardous structures, and recovery aspects of post-earthquake reconstruction. Recommendations are made to the architectural profession regarding its responsiblities in earthquake hazards mitigation programs, the design of earthquake-resistant buildings, professional liability, earthquake-evaluation of existing buildings, and rehabilitation of older, existing hazardous buildings. Finally, data is presented on information required by preparedness and response planners to develop programs in the anticipation of future seismic events and post-earthquake recovery.
