Basic concepts for accounting for the effects of soil-structure interaction effects in seismic design and assessment are also provided in this second edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe nature of earthquake risk assessment is inherently multi-disciplinary. Whereas this book addresses only structural safety assessment and design, the problem is cast in its appropriate context by relating structural damage states to societal consequences and expectations, through the fundamental response quantities of stiffness, strength and ductility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition includes material on the nature of earthquake sources and mechanisms, various methods for the characterization of earthquake input motion, effects of soil-structure interaction, damage observed in reconnaissance missions, modeling of structures for the purposes of response simulation, definition of performance limit states, fragility relationships derivation, features and effects of underlying soil, structural and architectural systems for optimal seismic response, and action and deformation quantities suitable for design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnified and novel approach: from source to fragility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClear conceptual framework for structural response analysis, earthquake input characterization, modelling of soil-structure interaction and derivation of fragility functions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTheory and relevant practical applications are merged within each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains a new chapter on the derivation of fragility\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website containing illustrative slides, problems with solutions and worked-through examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Earthquake Engineering: From Source to Fragility, Second\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eEdition\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to support graduate teaching and learning, introduce practising structural and geotechnical engineers to earthquake analysis and design problems, as well as being a reference book for further studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmr S.
