Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures VII (Seventh World Conference on Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures)

Containing papers presented at the Seventh World Conference on Earthquake Resistance and Engineering Structures (May 11-13, 2009, Cyprus), this book will be invaluable to engineers,
scientists and managers working in industry, academia, research organizations and governments. The book is organized into the following sections: Earthquake resistant design;
Seismic behaviour and vulnerability;
Structural dynamics; Passive protection devices; Seismic isolation; Site effects and geotechnical aspects; Development and application of passive anti-seismic systems (Special session chaired by A. Martelli);
Bridges; Lifelines; Material characterisation; Experimental studies;
Numerical simulation.
