Implications of recent earthquakes on seismic risk : papers presented at the Japan-UK Seismic Risk Forum 3rd Workshop, 6-7 April 2000, Imperial College, London, UK /

The response of civil engineering works to earthquakes is the only real and conclusive proof of their adequacy or otherwise. However, earthquakes as natural geological phenomena are few and far-between, which is fortunate from a human point of view. Therefore, drawing important lessons from each and...
