* In two volumes, Jacques BetbederﾐMatibet presents the current thinking in seismic engineering.The author explains the importance of keeping orders of magnitude in mind (i.e. through reasoning or very simple equations) when discussing seismic phenomena and their effects, a task which most people overlook because of their rarity and the brevity of their manifestations.Seismic Engineering also covers seismic calculations, both linear and non-linear and engineering tools *

Seismic Prevention of Damage
A Case Study in a Mediterranean City
WIT Press 2005.

ISBN 1-84564-004-7

Contents
* The recent destructive earthquakes of Kocaeli and Duzce in Turkey exemplify the high seismic risk of the Mediterranean area, close to the contact between various tectonic plates and therefore frequently shaken by earthquakes of medium or high intensity.
* The scientific, social and political awareness of the seismic risk prompted the Italian Department of Civil Protection to fund a Research Project on earthquake damage scenarios for a high-risk area in the Mediterranean. A subsequent Research Project, focussed on detailed scenarios and actions for seismic prevention of damage, was financed by the "Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia" (INGV).
* A multidisciplinary team researched the analysis and mitigation of seismic risk in Catania, a mid-sized Mediterranean city subjected to medium-high earthquake risk. This book summarises the results of the two-year project, which involved geology, geophysics, geotechnical, structural and transportation engineering and urban planning. *

1.Introduction. 2.Landslides and Other Slope Failures. 3.Ground Subsidence, Collapse, and Heave. 4.Earthquakes. 5.Appendix: The Earth and Geologic History. Index/ **
* Geologic hazards pose the greatest threat to human safety for any geotechnical undertaking, but it is ultimately the engineer's ability to recognize and cope with these hazards that will determine the safety of life and property. Armed with Geologic Hazards: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers, readers will be able to properly recognize, understand, and design for the various geologic hazards to provide safe and economical construction. Eminent expert Roy E. Hunt thoroughly examines the potential for slope failures, earthquakes, ground subsidence, collapse, and expansion, and explains, using a clear and conceptual approach, what measures are available to minimize or eliminate the risks associated with each. *

Selected Papers from the 11th International Conference on Fracture, Turin, Italy, March 20-25, 2005
Contents
* Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy during the fracture of stressed rock within the Earth's crust. This phenomenon is similar to that which occurs in materials under load, and although they take place on very different scales, these two phenomena - earthquakes in geophysics and damage in structural materials - have similarities. In both cases, there is a release of elastic energy from sources located inside a medium. These are selected papers from special sessions at the 11th International Conference on Fracture, held in Turin in 2005. They provide an outline of topics related to earthquakes and Acoustic Emission, and discuss the latest developments in this area. The papers have been divided into two categories: Seismic Mechanics & Earthquakes and Structural Failure & Acoustic Emission. Earthquakes and Acoustic Emission will serve as a useful supplementary textbook for postgraduates, while being of special interest to professionals in the field of earthquakes and acoustic emission. *
