Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures covers recent developments in the area of seismic performance assessment of structures. Earthquakes are one of the main natural hazards that could directly cause damages to or collapse of structures, resulting in significant economic and human life losses. In the event of an earthquake where many buildings and infrastructure components are not able to function afterward, or if extensive repair and associated disruption are needed, it can be very costly and take a long time to resolve. Divided into three parts, the book reviews and discusses earthquake-induced damage evaluation in structures, repair of structural and non-structural components, and seismic damage mitigation strategies. With contributions from the leading experts in the field, this book is for earthquake and structural engineers and PhD students studying civil engineering and for those who understand that design and damage mitigation of structures that have limited structural or non-structural damage in a seismic event can be easy to inspect and repair for quick reoccupation.
