Most entries are in English and include such information as scope and terminology, seismic design criteria, seismic zones, and seismic loads. Many entries include maps and diagrams. Edited by Robin K. McGuire. This volume summarizes probabilistic seismic hazard assessment as it is practiced in seismically active countries throughout the world. Fifty-nine reports, covering 88 countries, are included.
Many entries contain epicentral and seismic zoning maps as well as extensive references.
Edited by Mario Paz, editor. This book discusses seismic resistant design and seismic codes for 34 countries in active seismic regions of the world. Part I of the publication presents the basic theory of structural dynamics as applied to earthquake-resistant analysis and design. Part II provides an introduction to the seismicity and pertinent geological background for the 34 countries that are included, a simplified account of the seismic code for the respective country, as well as a summary of the main developments in seismic code activity for each country. Software that implements seismic codes for the various countries is available directly from contributors.
