Описание книги

Learn from the personal experience and insights of leading earthquake engineering specialists as they examine the lessons from disasters of the last 30 years and propose a path to earthquake safety worldwide  Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes?: Building for Safety in Seismic Areas  delivers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the key lessons taught by building failures during earthquakes around the world. The book uses empirical evidence to describe the successes of earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness, as well as the failures that may have had tragic consequences.  Readers will learn what makes buildings in earthquake zones vulnerable, what can be done to design, build and maintain those buildings to reduce or eliminate that vulnerability, and what can be done to protect building occupants. Those who are responsible for the lives and safety of building occupants and visitors – architects, designers, engineers, and building owners or managers – will learn how to provide adequate safety in earthquake zones. The text offers useful and accessible answers to anyone interested in natural disasters generally and those who have specific concerns about the impact of earthquakes on the built environment.  Readers will benefit from the inclusion of:  A thorough introduction to how buildings have behaved in earthquakes, including a description of the world’s most lethal earthquakes and the fatality trend over time An exploration of how buildings are constructed around the world, including considerations of the impact of climate and seismicity on home design A discussion of what happens during an earthquake, including the types and levels of ground motion, landslides, tsunamis, and sequential effects, and how different types of buildings tend to behave in response to those phenomena What different stakeholders can do to improve the earthquake safety of their buildings The owners and managers of buildings in earthquake zones and those responsible for the safety of people who occupy or visit them will find  Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes? Building for Safety in Seismic Areas  essential reading, as will all architects, designers and engineers who design or refurbish buildings in earthquake zones.

The Mw7.0 earthquake which struck the Republic of Haiti at 16.53 local time on 12 January 2010 was one of the most destructive in history. It had its epicentre 25 km from the capital city of Port‐au‐Prince, at a depth of 13 km, and very strong to severe ground shaking was felt throughout the city, which had a population of 3 million, and the surrounding region, resulting in collapse or critical damage to more than 300 000 homes. In addition, the Government of Haiti estimated that 60% of the nation's administrative and economic infrastructure was lost, and 80% of the schools and 50% of the hospitals were destroyed or damaged. The death toll was initially given by the Haiti Government as 316 000 (DesRoches et al. 2011) but an estimate of around 220 000 is now widely accepted, although other estimates range from 46 000 to 159 000. This would still mean that death toll as a proportion of the nation's population was greater than in any earthquake in modern times (DesRoches et al. 2011).
