Survey, repair and strengthening of buildings for earthquake damage

Abstract

Introduction In a previous paper, I discussed the techniques for ensuring the earthquake resistance of new buildings. Experience of past earthquakes demonstrates that incorporating the methods and advances of the last 30 years in the planning, design and construction of new buildings is the best way of minimising loss of life and investment during major earthquakes.
