Significant advances in earthquake engineering research have been achieved with the rise of new technologies and techniques with potential use in risk assessment, management and mitigation. Nevertheless, there is still much to be done, particularly with regard to existing buildings, most of them built without anti-seismic provisions. The wide variety of construction and structural systems, associated with the complex behaviour of their materials, greatly limit the application of current codes and building standards to the existing building stock. To tackle this issue, there is a fundamental need for developing multidisciplinary research that can lead to the development of more sophisticated and reliable methods of analysis, as well as to improved seismic retrofitting techniques compliant with buildings conservation principles. This book intends to contribute to the aforementioned goal by stimulating the exchange of ideas and knowledge on the assessment and reduction of the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings. 10 high quality contributions authored by international experts from Italy, Portugal, Morocco, Nepal, Czech Republic and Spain are included herein. All contributions pursue the protection of existing buildings by considering the most updated methods and advanced solutions emerging from different fields of expertise. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $abrittle failure 610 $aearthquakes scenarios 610 $aFRP 610 $ajoints 610 $aneural networks 610 $apushover 610 $aseismic performance 610 $ainfilled frames 610 $acarpentry halved joint 610 $ainter-storey drift 610 $asafety assessment 610 $aseismic risk 610 $ahigh-rise RC 610 $adiscrete elements 610 $aseismic vulnerability assessment 610 $alimit analysis 610 $aseismic capacity 610 $aGeo-hazard site effects 610 $aautomatic protocols 610 $anumerical modelling 610 $aseismic retrofit 610 $aretrofit 610 $anumerical modeling 610 $aImzouren 610 $afinite element modelling 610 $aExpected damage scenario 610 $amasonry structures 610 $alarge-scale vulnerability analysis 610 $aseismic restoration 610 $avulnerability assessment 610 $aearthquakes 610 $aunreinforced masonry structure 610 $aframe-infill interaction 610 $aCARTIS form 610 $aseismic analysis 610 $anonlinear static analysis 610 $aSeismic attenuation law 610 $aseismic behavior 610 $aseismic retrofitting 610 $adamage assessment 610 $acapacity curves 610 $aenergy dissipation 610 $amobile-device applications 610 $ain situ structural diagnosis 610 $avulnerability index 610 $aVulnerability assessment 610 $aGIS mapping 610 $aGorkha earthquake 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aFerreira$b Tiago Miguel$01295535 702 $aSilva$b Rui 702 $aMendes$b Nuno 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346680403321 996 $aReducing The Seismic Vulnerability of Existing Buildings$94318139 997 $aUNINA
