European Seismic Design Practice

This work presents the proceedings of the 5th SECED Conference, held in 1995. It represents the current state of European research and practice in earthquake testing, analysis and design of civil engineering works. Top page

Complete description

It is evident that European earthquake engineering research and design practice is assuming a role of increasing importance on the international scene. This is primarily due to two considerations: firstly the emergence of a core of European earthquake engineers who are cooperating on a long-term basis for the development of seismic design criteria specific to the European environemnt; and secondly the identification of new problems in existing design practice in the USA and Japan. It is in this context that European earthquake engineering activities and publications are eagerly observed and awaited by the international community. The work includes a compact set of papers from leading research institutions, laboratories and companies in Europe, with a healthy number of contributions from elsewhere. It represents the European state-of-the-art and practice in earthquake testing, analysis and design of civil engineering works as well as strong-motion and hazard studies. Top page
