Vrancea earthquakes: tectonics, hazard and risk mitigation - contributions from the first international workshop on Vrancea earthquakes, Bucharest, Romania, November 1-4, 1997

This volume contains the most relevant peer-reviewed papers represented at The First International Workshop on Vrancea Earthquakes, held in Bucharest from November 1-4, 1997. The contributions address key problems of seismotectonics of the Vrancea area and related strong ground motion, hazard assessment, site effects and microzonation, structural damage and earthquake resistant design, risk assessment and disaster management from an international and regional perspective. This list of topics shows the diverse contributions from the multidisciplinary fields of geosciences, geophysics, seismology, geology, civil engineering, city planning, and emergency relief practices.
