Earthquake Resistant Design and Risk Reduction, 2nd
edition is based upon global research and development work over
the last 50 years or more, and follows the author's series of
three books Earthquake Resistant Design, 1st and
2nd editions (1977 and 1987), and Earthquake Risk
Reduction (2003). Many advances have been made since the 2003
edition of Earthquake Risk Reduction, and there is every
sign that this rate of progress will continue apace in the years to
come. Compiled from the author's wide design and research
experience in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology,
this key text provides an excellent treatment of the complex
multidisciplinary process of earthquake resistant design and risk
reduction.
New topics include the creation of low-damage structures and the
spatial distribution of ground shaking near large fault ruptures.
Sections on guidance for developing countries, response of
buildings to differential settlement in liquefaction,
performance-based and displacement-based design and the
architectural aspects of earthquake resistant design are heavily
revised.
This book:
* Outlines individual national weaknesses that contribute to
earthquake risk to people and property
* Calculates the seismic response of soils and structures, using
the structural continuum "Subsoil - Substructure
- Superstructure - Non-structure"
* Evaluates the effectiveness of given design and construction
procedures for reducing casualties and financial losses
* Provides guidance on the key issue of choice of structural
form
* Presents earthquake resistant design methods for the main four
structural materials - steel, concrete, reinforced masonry
and timber - as well as for services equipment, plant and
non-structural architectural components
* Contains a chapter devoted to problems involved in improving
(retrofitting) the existing built environment
This book is an invaluable reference and guiding tool to
practising civil and structural engineers and architects,
researchers and postgraduate students in earthquake engineering and
engineering seismology, local governments and risk management
officials.

Autoren-Porträt von David J. Dowrick
David Dowrick graduated as a Civil Engineer fromAuckland University in 1958, and was awarded a Doctorate of
Engineering in 2003. He has worked both in consulting engineering
and in earthquake research, based in London and New Zealand. He now
works part-time on earthquake research from his home in Tauranga,
where he is also involved in four non-engineering committees.
Major engineering design projects include the Sydney Opera House
roof, restoration of York Minster and the Ohaaki power station
cooling tower in New Zealand. In addition, he has advised the New
Zealand Historic Places Trust on a variety of conservation
projects. Dr Dowrick is the author of over 70 publications,
including four editions of books on earthquake engineering. He has
received five awards, four for earthquake engineering papers plus
the Institution of Civil Engineers' Telford Gold Medal for
his paper on York Minster. He has been made a life member of the NZ
Society for Earthquake Engineering.
