معرفی کتاب Recent Advances in Geotechnical Post-earthquake Reconnaissance
There have been major improvements in scientific understanding and subsequent advances in earthquake engineering practice in the aftermath of significant earthquakes. Events that have significantly influenced earthquake engineering research and practice include the 1964 Niigata, 1964 Alaska, 1985 Mexico City, 1989 Loma Prieta, 1994 Northridge, 1995 Kobe, 1999 Kocaeli, 1999 Chi-Chi, 2004 Niigata-Chuetsu Oki, 2010 Haiti, 2010 Chile, 2011 Tohoku, 2010–2011 Canterbury, 2014 Cephalonia, 2015 Nepal, and 2016 Central Italy earthquakes. Each major earthquake potentially provides critical lessons that can save lives in a future event. Reconnaissance teams from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) Association strive to learn from these events and develop the insight and understanding that will enable scientists and engineers to evaluate and mitigate the effects of future earthquakes.
