Earthquake Resistant Design
 Websites presented in alphabetical order Earthquake Engineering 
 An "illustrated introduction to earthquake engineering principles," based on the original text by V. V. Bertero. Includes information on direct and indirect effects of earthquakes, surface faulting, liquefaction, and shaking; and explores the need for a comprehensive approach to earthquake-resistant construction. Features photographs, and an overview of recent research. From the National Information Service for Earthquake Engineering (NISEE), University of California, Berkeley. http://nisee.berkeley.edu/bertero/ Topics: Architecture, Geography, Science, Technology Last updated Feb 11, 2004 EERI: World Housing Encyclopedia
Covers "housing construction types in seismically active areas of the world." Search database by building location, building, rural or urban construction, economic level of inhabitants, building material, type of load-bearing structure, number of stories, seismic vulnerability rating, and other criteria. A hazard map for each country displays areas at greater risk. From the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). http://www.world-housing.net/ Topics: Agriculture, Architecture, Geography, Geology, Maps, Scientific Themes Last updated Feb 27, 2004 |
