Book Description
This book provides an overview of case studies from significant earthquakes in the last two decades. Through a series of case histories, this volume demonstrates the tight interrelation between the geodynamic conditions and the extent and type of damage caused in an earthquake. The volume includes chapters devoted to comparative studies from various seismic events, analysis of surficial deformation, examination of earthquake sequences, G.I.S. development and integration of multi-disciplinary approaches to earthquake hazard assessment and management.
